Abraham, 27, now plies his trade in Turkey with Besiktas after moving there on loan from Italian outfit AS Roma.
But he still has a property in London with the striker revealing on social media it was broken into by thieves.
Posting on his Instagram story, the former Chelsea man shared CCTV footage of the incident.
Abraham captioned the video: "A bunch of low lifes came to burgle my home couple days ago and took some valuables.
"Thank God my family are all OK.
"If anyone knows or heard any info, please let me know. I will find out soon."
The striker then clarified the incident took place at his property in London, rather than Turkey.
Abraham was seemingly able to watch the break-in remotely via an app.
It alerted him to the fact that there were people detected inside the property at just after 3am UK time.
Video footage showed three masked individuals moving around in his garden.
At one point, two of the intruders dragged away an unidentified heavy white object.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer blasts Besiktas for having 'no scouting department' after suffering humiliating Europa League exit
Abraham returned to Serie A giants Roma after spending the last campaign on loan with AC Milan, scoring 10 goals as they finished in eighth place.
The former Champions League winner then made the move to Besiktas this season - again on temporary loan terms.
He made his senior debut for England in 2017 and has racked up three goals in eleven appearances.
Abraham scored his first goal for England on 14 November 2019 in a 7–0 win over Montenegro in Euro 2020 qualifying.
A Chelsea academy graduate, Abraham made his first-team debut for the West London club in 2016 before spending a season on loan at Bristol City.
A further loan spell at Swansea City followed for Abraham, but the season ended with the club suffering relegation from the Premier League.
He then joined Aston Villa in 2018 and became the first player since 1977 to score 25 goals in a single league campaign for the club.
Abraham would return to Chelsea in 2019, recording 18 goals during their 2019/20 campaign, before lifting the UEFA Champions League in his following final season at the club.
He then joined Roma in 2021 and scored 17 goals in his debut Serie A season, a record high for an Englishman.
Abraham won the inaugural edition of the UEFA Europa Conference League under the tutelage of Jose Mourinho.

"Like all forces, Warwickshire Police finds itself in a difficult position of trying to carefully balance the legal safeguards which protect the integrity of the judicial process, while maintaining public order and simultaneously ensuring that public confidence is maintained through transparency and honesty."Currently police forces are in an invidious position when deciding what can and should be disclosed in sensitive cases, given that the national guidance is silent on both the ethnicity and immigration status of suspects."Two men have appeared in court charged in connection with the rape of the 12-year-old girl in Mulakhil faces two rape charges, while Mohammad Kabir is accused of kidnap, strangulation and aiding and abetting the rape of a girl aged under County Council leader George Finch accused Warwickshire Police and the Home Office of covering up their immigration status.

Transfer news live: Arsenal's Eze bid, Man Utd close on Sesko, Liverpool given boost for Isak move
Arsenal are preparing to bolster their forward line further by signing Crystal Palace 's Eberechi Eze. Palace want a fee in excess of £60m and the Gunners are on the verge of submitting an official. Benjamin Sesko wants to move to Manchester United despite RB Leipzig accepting an offer from Newcastle for the 22-year-old striker. The Premier League clubs are battling to sign a No.9 but the Old Trafford hierarchy are confident they can secure Sesko's signature despite a lack of Champions League football. Newcastle also have issues with Alexander Isak. The 25-year-old has been trying to force a move away from the club amid interest pursuit from Liverpool but the Magpies want a huge fee, having rejected Liverpool 's first bid of £110m. Elsewhere, Liverpool have agreed to sell Darwin Nunez to Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal which should open up funds to purchase Isak if they are willing to match Newcastle's valuation and Ruben Dias is close to agreeing a new contract with Manchester City while Nicolas Jackson is set to leave Chelsea this summer. Good morning! Welcome to The Independent's transfer blog. We'll have all the latest comings and goings from the Premier League and more throughout the day. Mike Jones7 August 2025 07:26 Alexander Isak forced to train alone at Newcastle amid Liverpool transfer links Newcastle striker Alexander Isak was told he must train away from the Newcastle squad as uncertainty over his future continues. The 25-year-old Sweden international was told to report for training on Wednesday but only after the rest of the squad had left. Isak did not travel with his team-mates on their pre-season trip to Singapore and South Korea, ostensibly because of a minor thigh injury, after Liverpool, who subsequently tabled a £110million bid for him, let it be known they remained interested in acquiring his services.

However, they are waiting to see if the striker will agree to leave Anfield after a three-season spell. Nunez also attracted interest from AC Milan but there were doubts if the Serie A side could meet Liverpool's asking price, whereas Al-Hilal are willing to pay a fee that could rise to £56.6m, including add-ons. More from senior football writer Richard Jolly: Darwin Nunez on verge of Liverpool exit as striker faces decision over future Darwin looks set to depart Anfield this summer after the arrival of young striker Hugo Ekitike and with the club chasing Newcastle's Alexander Isak Chris Wilson7 August 2025 06:30 Everton approach Man City about signing Jack Grealish on season-long loan deal Everton have approached Manchester City about the possibility of taking Jack Grealish on loan for the season. Grealish, 29, was stuck on the fringes of City's squad last season and his prospects look no brighter after a summer in which the talented 21-year-old French midfielder Rayan Cherki joined Pep Guardiola 's squad. Guardiola left Grealish out of his selection for the recent Club World Cup after coming to a mutual agreement with the winger that he needed a break.

Yet that is the building hype concerning 16-year-old forward Rio Ngumoha and the quality his possesses at such a young age. Then again, hype is one thing but performing on the pitch is another and in this arena Ngumoha is showing why football fans are getting excited about his future. On Monday 4 August, Liverpool played two pre-season games against Athletic Bilbao at Anfield. The games had different starting XIs with a mix of senior players and potential first team starters combining with fringe members of the squad in order to give Arne Slot a better feel for how his players are coping ahead of the start of the new season.

Quite a lot, it seems. Which, given the numbers involved, it really should. But the Anfield bows of five lavish arrivals offered an insight into Arne Slot 's remodelled Liverpool. The goals came from the old, with Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo scoring to defeat Athletic Club 3-2, the intrigue from the new. Giorgi Mamardashvili, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike made Anfield bows, albeit in an unofficial outing and after each has featured further afield in preseason. Even as the £110m bid for Alexander Isak indicated Liverpool did not necessarily intend their business to stop with those five, it is half a team. Jurgen Klopp called the side he left Liverpool 2.0. Perhaps this is 2.0 for Slot's Liverpool, significantly different to the title-winning outfit.

With a return to the Champions League, the Magpies need to strengthen their squad to compete at the highest level, but despite boss Eddie Howe making it known that he is looking to work fast this summer, Newcastle have missed out on several of their top targets so far. Benjamin Sesko is the latest high-profile target to opt against a move to St James Park, while key striker Alexander Isak remains linked with a move to Premier League champions Liverpool. Newcastle have been without any major recruits over the past two seasons due to PSR rules, and started the summer with a big move for Anthony Elanga – with the Nottingham Forest winger joining in a deal worth £55m – but have been thwarted in attempts to sign Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and James Trafford since then too. And it means that there are a big three weeks ahead for the Magpies ahead of the start of the 2025/26 season and the transfer deadline on 1 September, with the club needing to strengthen in several key positions.

England's Woakes 'gutted' he could not win single-handedly at Oval
LONDON, Aug 7 (Reuters) - All-rounder Chris Woakes is still processing the shock after England fell agonisingly short of a "fairytale" series victory despite his remarkable act of bravery in the fifth and final test against India. India levelled the five-test series 2-2 on Monday after prevailing in the cliffhanger at The Oval by six runs amid high drama in a fitting finale to an all-time classic series. Woakes, who dislocated his shoulder while fielding, himself provided some of the drama when he came out to bat with one arm in sling to try to get England across the line. "I'm still gutted, devastated really, that we couldn't get the fairytale," the 36-year-old told the Guardian newspaper. "But I never considered not going out there, even if it had been 100 runs still to win or whatever. "It was nice to have the ovation and some of the Indian players came over to show their respect. But any other player would have done the same." Woakes looked in pain when running, but did not have to bowl as Gus Atkinson was bowled by India's Mohammed Siraj at the other end. "It's not just you that you're playing for out there," Woakes said. "It's your team and your teammates, all the hard work and the sacrifices they put in, the people watching at home and in the ground. You just feel a duty to do it for everyone." He hurt his shoulder on the opening day of the see-saw test when he landed awkwardly trying to save a boundary, but said he has no regrets. "We chase down every run," Woakes said. "That has always been the way. As a bowler, you really respect guys trying to save every run. It means a lot to you. So you kind of do the same for the team. And a tight game like that one – just six runs the difference – kinda shows how they all add up."
