ENGLAND FOOTIE star Jack Grealish fears cops will never catch the robbery gang behind a £1million raid on his home.
There have been no arrests seven months on and Man City ace Jack is said to still be “on the edge” over the ordeal. Burglars snatched jewellery and watches worth £1million during the December break-in while Jack, 28, was playing away at Everton.
His girlfriend Sasha Attwood, 28, and ten members of his family were at the £5.6million property and raised the alarm. But months later, Cheshire Police have brought no suspects in.
A source said: “Jack fears they will never be caught. This left him absolutely distraught — it impacted him and his family badly. Seven months on and no arrests have been made. Police say they are still investigating it, but there’s a real fear they have fled the country. Jack is worried they’ll never be caught and will do it again.”
This month, Jack — who missed out on England’s Euros squad — revealed he and Sasha are expecting their first child. The pair have been together since their teens.
The raid at his mansion near Knutsford sparked a huge police response with dog teams and a helicopter hunting for clues. His home is in a wealthy area repeatedly targeted in recent years by professional burglary gangs from Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Peru.
Following the raid, Jack posted on Instagram: “I can’t begin to explain how devastated I am over the burglary that took place at my home. My family means the world to me and nothing is more important than ensuring their safety. This has been a traumatic experience for all of us, I am just so grateful that nobody was hurt.”
Other footballers targeted by burglars include Man City defender Joao Cancelo, who was physically attacked in December 2021. Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling, former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and then Man Utd aces Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria, have also been hit. After the raid at Jack’s home, City manager Pep Guardiola warned ¬ against social media posts.
