FOOTIE RAID Terrifying raid on Jack Grealish’s mansion as family hear thieves stealing ‘£1m of jewellery’ and hit panic button
JACK Grealish’s terrified family hit panic buttons as a gang of burglars looted his new home.
Around ten relatives were cheering on the Manchester City star in his televised match at Everton when they heard noises upstairs and dogs barking frantically.
The shaken group — including fiancée Sasha Attwood, his parents, gran, two sisters and brother — dashed for cover at the unfamiliar mansion which Jack moved into just before Christmas.
Police fearing a hostage situation raced to the scene and a helicopter scoured the estate.
Neighbours were told to lock doors and stay inside.
Despite extensive security and perimeter fencing around Jack’s lavish home, the crooks got in and fled with £1million of watches and jewellery on Wednesday night.
The England ace, 28, rushed back from City’s 3-1 win to comfort his traumatised family and was yesterday seen checking paths next to the £5.6million Cheshire property.
A source told The Sun: “The family are really shaken.
“The gang took a lot of watches and jewellery.
“They executed their raid when Manchester City were playing live on TV and all his family had gathered downstairs to cheer him on.
“No one was injured but there was a lot of panic.
“Everyone was terrified as they were all so vulnerable.
“It’s an enormous property, so it is understandable why no one heard anything at first.
“It was also the first time the family had visited so they were unfamiliar with the property.
“When the dogs went mad, and they could hear people creeping about, they pressed the security panic alarm.
“An emergency unit responded immediately, with multiple police cars and a chopper deployed. Initially, they feared they could be facing a hostage situation or worse.”
The raid is the latest on multi-million Premier League stars, with West Ham skipper Kurt Zouma’s property in Essex targeted shortly before Christmas.
