Uruguay media has reported that thieves broke into the Uruguay FIFA World Cup team hotel and stole more than 90-thousand rands from two members of the squad.

The theft took place while the team was playing France in Green Point. The robbers apparently broke into the rooms of Ernesto Rodriguez and Daniel Marotta at a hotel in Cape Town during last night’s game.

Police say surveillance camera recordings show that a member of the Uruguay delegation could have been involved.

Meanwhile, Mpumalanga police say six people who allegedly robbed a hotel and held up a Chilean soccer fan have been arrested in White River.

The men apparently robbed the Pine Inn Hotel in White River of four thousand rand and held up 33-year-old Sergio Divona at gun point, before fleeing with his shoes and cell phone.

A pistol has been recovered. The suspects are expected to appear in court on Monday
