Grealish’s Cheshire mansion in northwest England was targeted by thieves as he was in action for the Premier League champions during their 3-1 victory on Merseyside.

Members of Grealish’s family and his fiancee Sasha Atwood were watching the televised match at the house when they heard a disturbance, according to reports today.

An alarm was raised and an emergency response was launched with a helicopter, police dogs, and several officers sent to the property, but no suspects were detected.

It was reported the robbers made off with £1 million worth of jewellery and watches.

Grealish, 28, was informed of the raid after City’s match finished.

A spokesman for Cheshire Constabulary said, “At around 9.50pm on Wednesday, 27 Dec, police were called to reports of a burglary.”

“The caller reported that a number of items had been stolen.”

“Officers, supported by the police dogs and NPAS (National Police Air Service), were deployed and searches were conducted in the local area, but there was no trace of the suspects.”

“No arrests have been made at this time and enquiries are ongoing.”
