Burglars targets Cheryl's wedding rings
THIEVES tried to break into Cheryl and Ashley Coles 3.5million mansion the other day in an apparent bid to steal the singers wedding rings.
The attempted burglary came just hours after the X Factor judge was pictured flying to Los Angeles without her wedding ring on, following further allegations that her husband had been unfaithful. Chelsea defender Cole was woken at 4.30am as thieves tried to force entry at the Surrey mansion. He quickly called police and said: 'Please come quick, someones trying to break in, according to The Sun.Daily Mail
Police arrived minutes later but the thieves had fled. A Surrey Police spokesman confirmed: 'We can confirm that officers were called to a house in Surrey at around 4.30am yesterday morning following reports of an attempted break in. 'Investigations are ongoing.
Sources said that Chelsea and England star Cole was not alone in the property at the time.
The Sun reported that police were said to be convinced the raiders were after Cheryls two wedding rings. But a source told MailOnline: 'Nothing was taken and they didnt manage to get inside the house.
Police were said to be investigating a theory that the burglars were informed by a member of Coles inner circle that he was unlikely to be home.
He was expected to escape the scandal surrounding his marriage by fleeing to his mothers house - but then decided to stay at home nursing his ankle injury.
'It cannot be coincidence that people attempt to break into the family home when both of them are due to be out of the UK, a police source told The Sun.
'And it happens when there is widespread publicity that Mrs Cole is not wearing her wedding ring. 'Whether they were acting on some kind of insider information is certainly possible.
Forensic officers were at the mansion yesterday searching for clues, while Cole remained at his home.
Cole gave his 26-year-old wife a 150,000 heart shaped rock on their wedding day, and famously also presented her with a 160,000 square-cut diamond in the wake of allegations he had an affair with a hairdresser in 2008. Daily Mail
