Joelinton’s mansion targeted by thieves as Newcastle midfielder gets alert three burglars lurking in his home

11 months ago 77

JOELINTON’S mansion was targeted by thieves last night – with the Newcastle midfielder forced to call cops.

The injured Brazilian had been watching his team take on Man City from the sideline when he received a security alert saying three men were inside his home.

While at St James’ Park he immediately contacted the police who raced to the address in Ponteland, Northumberland, shortly after 7.30pm.

By the time officers arrived at the multi-million pound Darras Hall home the attackers had fled.

No one is understood to have been inside the property when the home invaders struck.

No arrests have been made and enquiries into the raid at the 27-year-old’s home are ongoing.

The Sun revealed last month that 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.

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

Just weeks before, West Ham star Kurt Zouma‘s family home in Essex was targeted while he was inside.

The robbers also stole jewellery and high-end watches worth £1million – with Zouma forced to miss his team’s game against Crystal Palace.

A Northumbria Police spokesperson said: “Shortly before 7.30pm yesterday police received a call from a concerned homeowner who reported that three men were inside their home in Darras Hall.
