Jack Grealish left 'absolutely distraught' and still 'on edge' as Man City star fears police will never catch burglars who launched £1m raid on Cheshire home

The Manchester City forward became the target for an organised criminal gang in December 2023. The England international was on the road at the time, taking in a Premier League trip to Everton. Ten members of his family were at the £5.6m property when looters broke in.

Grealish’s girlfriend Sasha Attwood, who is now pregnant with the couple’s first child, was among those at home and helped to raise the alarm. The burglary did, however, result in jewellery, watches and goods worth over £1m being taken.

Cheshire Police have detained no suspects, leaving Grealish concerned at an important time in 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 missed out on a place in England’s Euro 2024 squad, is currently in pre-season training with City ahead of the new Premier League season. They have left the country again, with Celtic, AC Milan, Barcelona and Chelsea set to be faced in a summer tour of the United States.
