Ben Stokes said in a post online that jewellery, valuables and a 'good deal of personal items' were taken from his family's home in Castle Eden, County Durham.
A man has been arrested following a burglary at England Test captain Ben Stokes's home while he was competing in Pakistan earlier this month. Stokes said in a post online that jewellery, valuables and a 'good deal of personal items' were taken on 17 October when his wife and two young children were at their home in Castle Eden, County Durham. A 32-year-old man from North Yorkshire was arrested on suspicion of burglary overnight, Durham police said.
'All we can think about is how much worse this situation could have been.' One item taken was a gold necklace with a lion pendant with the words 'some may be better but none will be braver' engraved on the back. Another was a gold ring custom-made by fine jewellery designer MJ Jones. The ring features the England cricket logo with diamonds surrounding it.
