A burglar has reportedly broken into David Beckham’s family home in West London, carting away valuables worth thousands of pounds.
The incident occurred while David and his family were relaxing downstairs unaware.
The thief reportedly forced himself into a bedroom upstairs in the £40million mansion in Holland Park and ransacked the place.
The theft was discovered the next morning when one of Beckham’s sons, 17-year-old Cruz, returned home from a night in the town and spotted shards of glass, according to TheSun.Co.Uk.
David reportedly called 999 and set about searching the mansion for the burglar with Cruz, while the daughter Harper stayed with his wife Victoria waiting for the police.
A source close to the family told The Sun: ‘Unfortunately, the Beckham house hold were victims of some rather professional thieves who have operated in the area. Fortunately, the criminals only got as far as a bedroom before running away.”
Though no one was injured, the family is said to have been ‘shaken’ by the burglary.
The thief ran off with thousands of designer clothes, accessories and electrical items stored in the room.
