Manchester City defender Ruben Dias endured a distressing off-field blow after his Cheshire home was reportedly broken into while he attended City’s UEFA Champions League clash against Galatasaray. The Portuguese star, sidelined with a hamstring injury, had gone to the Etihad Stadium to support his teammates during their 2-0 victory when the incident occurred.
Dias and his partner, British TV presenter Maya Jama, were away from their property in Alderley Edge at the time. Local police confirmed they were alerted late in the evening after signs of forced entry were discovered, and multiple items were taken.
A Cheshire Police spokesperson told the BBC,
𝑶𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒏. 𝑨𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒔 𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈.
Police Launch Investigation as Couple Left “Shocked” Dias
Reports say the pair returned to find several rooms ransacked and personal belongings missing. The break-in has left them shaken, as the property was their first home together after relocating to the quiet Cheshire neighborhood late last year.
A source close to the couple revealed,
“𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅. 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓, 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒊𝒔 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎. 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒚, 𝒏𝒆𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆.”
While City celebrated qualification for the Champions League last 16, Dias continues his recovery from injury. Meanwhile, Jama is currently in South Africa hosting Love Island All-Stars as authorities work to track down those responsible for the burglary.
