A gang of thieves are reported to have stolen around £1 million worth of jewellery and watches from Jack Grealish’s home in Cheshire during a targeted raid.
The distressing incident at the Manchester City and England midfielder’s Cheshire mansion is believed to have taken place while the 28-year-old was in action playing up against Everton in a 3-1 Premier League victory on Wednesday night (27 December), all according to reports in The Sun, and several other reputable publications.
Around 10 members of the footballer‘s extended family were said to have been inside the property at the time of the distressing incident, it has been reported.
The Birmingham-born player’s parents and long-term girlfriend Sasha Attwood were allegedly among those present in the home watching the match on TV at the time – with The Sun’s reports suggesting the family heard noises coming from upstairs.

After becoming aware of the noises, the Grealish‘s dogs began barking, and the family subsequently pressed the property’s panic alarm to alert security and authorities, according to information provided by a source to The Sun.

Police responded following the sounding of the panic alarm, and went on to deploy officers, a dogs unit, and a helicopter, but it’s being reported that no suspects were found.
The Sun reports the thieves got away with around £1 million worth of jewellery and watches.

Cheshire Police said in a statement, as provided to The Sun: “At around 9:50pm on Wednesday December 27, police were called to reports of a burglary and the caller reported that a number of items had been stolen.
“Officers supported by police dogs and National Police Air Service were deployed, and searches were conducted in the local area, but there was no trace of the suspects.
“No arrests have been made at this time, and enquiries are ongoing.”
Investigating officers are now asking that anyone with any information in relation to the incident should contact Cheshire Police on 101, or make reports anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Everyone in England can now get FREE careers advice as part of a new Government scheme
Emily Sergeant
People all across the country now have the ability to access support from dedicated career advisers completely free of charge.
That’s because, for the first time ever, the full range of support previously offered by the National Careers Service will be available through Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) under the Government, creating a more joined-up service for people at every stage of their career.
Around 500 qualified careers advisers have joined the DWP, it has been confirmed, and they will provide expert careers information, advice, and guidance alongside the existing employment and skills support that are already available through Jobcentres.
But the key is here, the free careers support will be available to everyone – regardless of whether they claim benefits.
The services are set to be accessed either online, over the phone, or through face-to-face appointments at Jobcentres, giving people a single place to access the advice they need to take their next step.
As mentioned, these new services are part of the wider reforms the Government says it is taking to ‘give everyone the opportunity to succeed’.
These reforms include £2.5 billion of youth employment support, and £3.5 billion investment in employment support for disabled people and those with long-term health conditions.
Support can be accessed online via the Get Careers Information and Advice page HERE, as well as through the freephone service on 0800 072 0288.
Face-to-face appointments will then be available in Jobcentres later this month.

Beloved Manchester artist Stanley Chow slams Conservative Party for using his artwork
Daisy Jackson
Celebrated local artist Stanley Chow has lashed out at the Conservative Party.
The illustrator, who is famed for his cartoon portraits of famous faces, has discovered that the political party have been using his Andy Burnham illustration at their party conference.
Publicly addressing the usage, Stanley said he would be ‘seeking legal advice’.
He shared a photo of his Andy Burnham portrait that has been placed onto a water bottle with the slogan ‘Bottler Burnham’.
The label also says: “0% strength. Bottled under pressure from Badenoch.”
In another photo, Stanley Chow revealed that the Tory party conference has used his Andy Burnham portrait on pots of sweets, too.
This time, they say: “Andy Panders’ people pleaser pick n mix. Free sweets for everyone, it will only cost you higher taxes.”
Stanley wrote: “It seems like @conservatives have been using my artwork without my permission at their conference party…
“Regardless of whatever your political allegiances are, it’s still copyright infringement… I’ll be seeking legal advice.”
Backing him up in the comments are a number of other local artists, including Mancsy, who said: “As well as the copyright infringement, I expect more of political parties than making gags at the expense of the opposition. It’s alarming on multiple levels.”
Someone else wrote: “Imagine calling a prime minister a people pleaser like it’s an insult… when it’s their job.”
Another person said: “How does that even happen?! Layers of people signing off who go, ‘Sure, let’s not worry about copyright’ (people who’ve presumably never step foot in MCR and seen your artwork, like EVERYWHERE). Drag em, babe. Copyright and reputation, surely.”
