JACK Grealish’s terrified family hit panic buttons as a gang of burglars looted his new home.

Around ten relatives were cheering on the Manchester City star in his televised match at Everton when they heard noises upstairs and dogs barking frantically.

The shaken group — including fiancée Sasha Attwood, his parents, gran, two sisters and brother — dashed for cover at the unfamiliar mansion which Jack moved into just before Christmas.

Police fearing a hostage situation raced to the scene and a helicopter scoured the estate.

Neighbours were told to lock doors and stay inside.

Despite extensive security and perimeter fencing around Jack’s lavish home, the crooks got in and fled with £1million of watches and jewellery on Wednesday night.

The England ace, 28, rushed back from City’s 3-1 win to comfort his traumatised family and was yesterday seen checking paths next to the £5.6million Cheshire property.

A source told The Sun: “The family are really shaken.

“The gang took a lot of watches and jewellery.

“They executed their raid when Manchester City were playing live on TV and all his family had gathered downstairs to cheer him on.

“No one was injured but there was a lot of panic.

“Everyone was terrified as they were all so vulnerable.

“It’s an enormous property, so it is understandable why no one heard anything at first.

“It was also the first time the family had visited so they were unfamiliar with the property.

“When the dogs went mad, and they could hear people creeping about, they pressed the security panic alarm.

“An emergency unit responded immediately, with multiple police cars and a chopper deployed. ­Initially, they feared they could be facing a hostage situation or worse.”

The residence of West Ham captain Kurt Zouma in Essex was targeted in the most recent raid on high-profile Premier League players, which happened just before Christmas.

In a last-ditch effort to capture the gang, police searched the region surrounding Jack’s estate from the air and on Wednesday night.

He and 27-year-old model and influencer Sasha bought the “exceptional modern” seven-bed mansion set in 24 acres last year but have only just moved in.

Their home boasts a helipad, boating and fishing lake, wine cellar, tennis court, golf tee and full-sized football and cricket pitches.

Yesterday forensic crime scene officers were seen leaving the property while two officers were carrying out door-to-door enquiries with neighbours in the hope of finding any CCTV footage.

Sources said Jack was told of the break-in minutes after City’s win at Goodison Park.

And shaken residents told how five police patrol cars dashed to the area at 10pm.

One said: “The police arrived at my property and asked if they could enter the land to carry out searches.

“They went towards Grealish’s land and were shining lights up and down a bridleway.

“They said there was a man on the loose and that we should lock our doors then they drove off.

“A police helicopter was circling for about 20-30 minutes and shining a red light down but then it flew off.”

Jack had a perimeter fence installed soon after purchasing the vast property.

Signs warn it is protected by a security company and guards are based in a mobile home on the driveway.

Yesterday a van from Adept Security Systems which specialises in CCTV, intruder alarms and barriers and gates was seen parked at the property.

On Christmas Day Grealish and Sasha posed with their dog Skye and wrote on Instagram: “Merry Christmas everyone, beautiful day with the family.”

Jack also posted an image of a dinner table set for eight guests and a menu titled “Sasha and Jack Christmas Day 2023”.

In October The Sun told how Jack had won a planning battle to build a leisure suite at the ­mansion — complete with his own treatment room.

He enjoys a close relationship with his immediate family and has described sister Hollie, 20, as his best friend.

Confirming their investigation, Cheshire Police told The Sun: “At around 9.50pm on Wednesday December 27 police were called to reports of a burglary.

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

“Officers supported by police dogs and 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.

“Anyone with any information in relation to the incident is asked to contact Cheshire Police.”
