As Grealish was playing, approximately ten family members, including his fiancée, Sasha Attwood, were at home watching the match on television. They were startled by unusual noises and the barking of dogs. Alarmed by these sounds, the family activated the mansion's panic buttons to alert security.

Following the activation of the panic alarms, Cheshire Police were notified of the burglary around 9.50 p.m. Despite a swift response involving police dogs and the National Police Air Service, the thieves eluded capture.

The police conducted extensive searches in the local area, but no suspects were found, and no arrests have been made, as per the Daily Mail.

The Scene at Grealish’s Mansion

The mansion, which Grealish had only recently moved into before Christmas, was unfamiliar to many of his family members present during the burglary.

This unfamiliarity added to the chaos and fear during the incident. The family was unharmed but reportedly left shaken by the experience.

According to TDPel Media, Grealish's property, valued at £5.6 million, had extensive security measures, including perimeter fencing.

The burglary at Grealish's home follows a similar incident involving West Ham player Kurt Zouma, whose home was also targeted by armed intruders. These events have raised concerns about the safety of high-profile athletes and their families.
