The burglary at the Beckham family’s £40million mansion was discovered by shocked son Cruz
The burglary at the Beckham family’s £40million mansion was discovered by shocked son Cruz when he returned with pals after a night out.
He spotted a spare bedroom had been ransacked while his parents were in the house, with glass from the broken window lying on the floor.
The masked raider had gone, along with thousands of pounds of designer and electric goods, by the time David searched the home.
Former England skipper David, 46, and fashion designer Victoria, 47, are said to have been “shaken up” by the “invasion”.
So much so, sources have suggested that the couple are keen to make a “permanent” move to the US ahead of son Brooklyn’s wedding.
They told OK! magazine the Beckham’s were worried the incident would put a “black cloud” over their son’s special day on April 9.
“There’s been a series of burglaries and break-ins along their road. Quite a few stars live down there so it’s definitely a target,” the source said.
“They’re extremely upset and worried. They already have security but they’re going to heap it up.
They’re worried because they have Brooklyn’s wedding coming up so they will be in America for a little while and don’t want to leave the house.
“It’s really put a black cloud over the wedding. They’re really distressed and very worried that they’ll be targeted as a family again.”
The couple have been plagued by stalkers and kidnap threats in the past. A source told The Sun: “Sadly the Beckhams were the victims of some fairly professional thieves who have been operating in the area.
“Fortunately the criminals only made it as far as one bedroom before they ran off.”
David, Victoria and their two younger children spend most of their time at the seven-bedroom West London house, which the couple bought for £31million in 2013.
They spent an estimated £8million altering the house to their requirements and enlisted the skills of renowned interior designer Rose Uniacke. The house contains two dressing rooms and a catwalk-style runway and boasts a playroom, gym, spa area, salon-style room and underground car park.
The couple also have a £6million Cotswolds estate, which is now patrolled by a security guard after two break-ins.
In addition, they own property in Dubai and have a stunning apartment in Miami, where son Romeo, 19, plays professional football.
Eldest son Brooklyn, 23, is due to wed billionaire’s daughter Nicola Peltz on April 9 in the US.
The Beckhams are said to have ordered a review of the London mansion’s security in the wake of the burglary. A forensic examination was carried out the day after the break-in on February 28.
