Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch's home burgled

Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch's £4.5 million Cheshire home has been burgled. The couple were "distraught" when they returned home to find the property ransacked by thieves, with Christmas presents, luxury Rolex watches and a number of rings belonging to the 25-year-old model having gone missing. It is believed the burglars had been watching the house - which features a gym, a swimming pool and a cinema - and waiting for the couple to go out before forcing their way in through a kitchen window on Tuesday (20.12.11), before being disturbed when the soccer star and his wife returned home. A friend of the pair told MailOnline: "Abbey and Peter must have disturbed the burglars when they heard their car coming up the drive. "They believe there were several men in the house." Fortunately, the couple's nine-month-old daughter Sophia Ruby was being looked after by Abbey's mother at the time of the incident. A pal added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Abbey and Peter are naturally distressed that this has happened, particularly in the run-up to Christmas." It is thought Abbey called police as soon as she and the 30-year-old sportsman returned home. A spokeswoman for Cheshire Police said: "Thieves broke in to the house via a kitchen window, stealing jewellery and electrical items." However, this isn't the first time Peter - who bought the Cheshire mansion from retired England cricketer Andrew Flintoff three months ago after signing for Premier League team Stoke City - has been targeted by burglars. In 2006, his home in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, was raided, with thieves stealing football memorabilia, champagne and jewellery and his exclusive Aston Martin car worth a total of £200,000. Police are now launching an investigation into the burglary. |
