Jack Grealish has spoken out after his mansion was raided for £1million worth of jewellery by thieves on Wednesday night while his family were inside watching him on television.
The footballer, 28, has spoken of his devastation over the ‘traumatic’ incident which left his loved ones terrified.
Footballer Jack’s fiancee Sasha Attwood, 28, was with his family at their Cheshire home at hit panic buttons inside the house when the burglars struck.
It is thought 10 relatives – including Sasha, his parents, two sisters and brother – were at the property watching the Manchester City winger play in his side’s 3-1 win against Everton.
Jack wrote on Instagram on Sunday: ‘I can’t begin to explain how devastated I am over the burglary that took place at my home a few days ago.
‘My family mean 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.
‘I have had so many amazing experiences and achievements over the last 12 months, but to be honest the best year of my life in football now doesn’t feel like something I can celebrate.
‘The people that commit these terrible crimes have no idea of the damage they cause to peoples lives. I hope they are found and brought to justice so no other family has to go through what we have.
‘I appreciate the messages from everyone and the support from my friends, teammates and the club.
‘On a more positive note, I’d like to thank everyone for their support throughout this past year, I wish you and your family a happy 2024’
