David, Victoria Beckham's Mansion Burglarized; Multiple Items Reported Stolen

A London mansion owned by David and Victoria Beckham was burglarized March 1 while the couple and their 10-year-old daughter, Harper, were inside the home.

Mike Sullivan and Simon Boyle of The Sun reported Wednesday that Cruz, the couple's 17-year-old son, discovered a broken window and a ransacked room when he returned home after a night out with friends. He then searched the home with his dad while waiting for the police to arrive, but they didn't locate anybody inside.

"Sadly the Beckhams were the victims of some fairly professional thieves who have been operating in the area," a source told The Sun. "Fortunately the criminals only made it as far as one bedroom before they ran off."

Police told TMZ Sports a "number of items were reported stolen" and the investigation is ongoing.

Investigators have reviewed security footage, which showed an individual jumping over a gate in front of the house, entering by breaking the window of a spare bedroom and making off with a few items, according to The Sun.

"The family were clearly shaken up by what happened," a source told The Sun. "It was very upsetting for them to find out the burglar had broken into the house while they were at home."

While some things were stolen, "none had a huge amount of sentimental value to the family," the source added.

The Beckhams ordered a review of the property's security after the incident, per Sullivan and Boyle.

The Metropolitan Police told The Sun it's unclear whether the intruder worked alone or had accomplices, as other properties in the area were also targeted.

David is one of the most well-known figures in world football after a 22-year playing career that included stops with Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and the Los Angeles Galaxy prior to his 2013 retirement. He also made 115 appearances for the England national team.

Victoria, who's also from England, rose to fame as Posh Spice in the Spice Girls pop group. The couple was married in 1999 and have four children.
