Jamie Vardy, the renowned footballer, and his wife, Rebekah, have reportedly been left shaken. Thieves broke into their Italian home. The villa is located on the picturesque shores of Lake Garda. Robbers made off with valuable jewellery, cash, and designer watches. The stolen items are estimated to be worth £80,000.
Details of the Break-in
Local reports indicate the intruders gained entry through a window. They then ransacked the property. Among the luxury items stolen was a Patek Philip watch. Police suspect an organised gang carried out the break-in. This group may have been aware of the family’s movements.
A police source revealed details of the suspected modus operandi. They believe the gang had been monitoring the Vardy family. The robbery was timed to coincide with Jamie Vardy’s absence. He was reportedly away in Rome at the time.
Life in Salò, Italy
The Vardys’ £2 million villa is situated in Salò. This historic town in northern Italy is famous for its stunning lakeside views. It also has historical ties to World War 2 leader Benito Mussolini. Interestingly, Mussolini’s great-grandson, Romana Mussolini, is currently a teammate of Vardy’s at Cremonese.
Jamie and Rebekah have been adapting to life in Italy. This follows the striker’s recent move to Serie A newcomers, Cremonese. The couple has often been seen enjoying the town. They take strolls and dine at local restaurants. Friends say they are embracing their new surroundings. They have even started learning the language.
A source close to the family previously commented on their adjustment. “Jamie and Becky are already loving Italian life,” the source said. “They are doing all they can to blend in seamlessly.”
Ongoing Police Investigation
Italian police are actively pursuing their investigation. Officers are reviewing CCTV footage. They are also tracking the movements of known criminal gangs. These groups are known to operate around the Lake Garda area. Authorities are committed to bringing the culprits to justice.
