Footballer Jack Grealish’s home raided by burglars

Burglars raided the home of Jack Grealish as the Manchester City footballer was playing earlier this week, reportedly making off with £1m worth of jewellery and watches.

The thieves targeted the England star’s Cheshire mansion as he was in action for the Premier League title holders at Everton’s Goodison Park in Liverpool on Wednesday night.

Members of Grealish‘s family and his fiancee Sasha Atwood were watching the televised match at the property when they heard a disturbance, The Sun newspaper reported.

The alarm was raised and an emergency response was launched, with a helicopter, police dogs and a number of officers sent to the property near Knutsford. However, no suspects were detected.

The newspaper said the thieves made off with £1m worth of jewellery and watches from the midfielder’s property.

A spokeswoman for Cheshire Constabulary said: “At around 9.50pm on Wednesday 27 December police were called to reports of a burglary.

“The caller reported that a number of items had been stolen.

“Officers, supported by the police dogs and NPAS (National Police Air Service), were deployed and searches were conducted in the local area, but there was no trace of the suspects.”
