Jack Grealish is “absolutely distraught” and “on edge” following a £1 million burglary at his Cheshire home, with fears that the culprits may never be apprehended.
In December 2023, the Manchester City forward became the target of an organized criminal gang. At the time of the incident, the England international was traveling for a Premier League match against Everton.
Ten members of his family were present at his £5.6 million property when the break-in occurred.
Among those at home was Grealish’s girlfriend, Sasha Attwood, who is now pregnant with their first child and helped raise the alarm. Despite her efforts, the burglars made off with over £1 million worth of jewellery, watches, and other valuables.
Cheshire Police have yet to detain any suspects, leaving Grealish worried during a crucial period in both his personal and professional life.
A source has told The Sun: “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.”
Grealish said at the time: “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.”
The 28-year-old winger, who did not make the cut for England’s Euro 2024 squad, is currently in pre-season training with Manchester City ahead of the new Premier League season.
The team has departed for their summer tour of the United States, where they will face Celtic, AC Milan, Barcelona, and Chelsea.
