Celebrity Couple's Cheshire Mansion Targeted by Burglars
Love Island presenter Maya Jama and Manchester City defender Ruben Dias have been left devastated after their multi-million pound home in Cheshire's exclusive Golden Triangle was burgled. The couple's £4 million mansion in Alderley Edge was targeted while both were away from the property, with thieves making off with valuable personal items.
Property Ransacked While Occupants Were Away
The burglary occurred at the couple's 6,300 square foot residence, which sits in a quiet street within the affluent village of Alderley Edge. Ruben Dias discovered the break-in upon returning home at approximately 11pm after Manchester City's match against Galatasaray, immediately contacting emergency services to report the incident.
At the time of the burglary, Maya Jama was in South Africa filming the latest series of Love Island All Stars, while her partner was competing in a crucial football match. A source close to the couple revealed their distress, stating: "They are devastated. The house is the first they have moved into as a couple and is very special to them."
Sophisticated Security Measures Breached
Despite the property featuring advanced security systems, including:
- A sophisticated zoned alarm system
- Comprehensive CCTV coverage
- Electric security gates
- Regular monitoring by security personnel
Thieves managed to gain entry and steal valuable items including jewellery, electronics, and personal clothing. The property, previously featured in an Omaze prize draw, boasts extensive landscaped gardens and a complete indoor leisure complex featuring:
- A full-sized swimming pool
- Luxury spa bath facilities
- Professional sauna
- State-of-the-art gymnasium
Police Investigation Underway
Cheshire Police confirmed they received reports of the burglary shortly after 11:10pm on Wednesday 28 January. Officers attended the scene and confirmed that entry had been made to the property and a number of items had been stolen. Enquiries into the incident are currently ongoing as police work to identify those responsible.
The source added: "Thankfully, neither was at home, but they are very upset that their personal space has been invaded. They love the house because it is tucked away down a very quiet street with no passing traffic."
Alderley Edge forms part of Cheshire's renowned Golden Triangle, an area popular with numerous Premier League footballers and high-profile celebrities who appreciate the privacy and security the location typically offers residents.
