England and Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish has expressed his devastation and shared the traumatic experience he and his family endured after their Cheshire mansion was targeted by burglars during a Premier League match on Wednesday. While Grealish was away playing with his club at Everton, members of his family and his fiancee, Sasha Atwood, were reportedly watching the televised game at home when they heard a disturbance.

 

The incident triggered an alarm, prompting an immediate emergency response. A helicopter, police dogs, and numerous officers were dispatched to the property near Knutsford, but despite their efforts, no suspects were apprehended. The thieves managed to flee with an estimated £1 million worth of jewelry and watches.

 

Taking to Instagram, Grealish expressed his profound distress over the burglary and emphasized the significance of his family’s safety. He described the ordeal as a traumatic experience for everyone involved and expressed gratitude for the fact that no one was physically harmed.

 

Grealish went on to reflect on his achievements in the past year, but acknowledged that they were overshadowed by the recent events. He expressed his disappointment that despite a successful year in football, it was difficult to celebrate amid the family’s distress.

 

He condemned the perpetrators of such crimes and urged them to understand the profound impact their actions have on victims’ lives. Grealish expressed hope that the burglars would be brought to justice to prevent other families from enduring similar ordeals.

 

The England international player expressed his appreciation for the overwhelming support from fans, friends, teammates, and his club. He conveyed his gratitude for the messages of sympathy and encouragement he had received and wished everyone a happy 2024.

 

Among the first to offer support was Grealish’s England teammate James Maddison, who commented on the Instagram post, saying, “Love ya brother.” The incident has drawn widespread attention and concern, highlighting the need for increased security measures and efforts to deter such crimes.
