Pacquiao's home robbed

Los Angeles - Four people were arrested for burglary at the Los Angeles area home of Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquaio, authorities said on Saturday.

Police said no one was in the house at the time of the incident and an attorney for the Asian southpaw, who also serves as a Philippines Congressman, said nothing was taken from the house.

Sheriff's detectives were in the neighborhood where Pacquiao's house is located on another matter and saw the burglary in progress, officials said.

Identities of the four people involved have not been released, but they were being questioned by police. Charges have not yet been filed against them.

Pacquiao, 53-3 with two drawn and 38 knockouts, is in the Philippines training for a November 12 defense of his World Boxing Organization welterweight crown against Mexico's Juan Manuel Marquez, 53-5 with one drawn and 39 knockouts.
