Thieves burgle homes of Chelsea ­manager and Leicester’s late owner

Thieves burgle homes of Chelsea ­manager Frank Lampard and Leicester’s late owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, it’s been revealed.

£60,000 of jewellery and watches belonging to the former footballer and his wife Christine at their home nearby the south west London based Premier League club.

It was the fourth time the ex-England star has been targeted. Details of the break-ins, last December, was never been made public by police.

It came 10 days before burglars took more than £1million of valuables from billionaire Vichai’s house in Knightsbridge, West London, left as a shrine after his death.

The Srivaddhanaprabha family are devastated at the break-in at his home, untouched since he died in a helicopter crash at the King Power Stadium in October 2018.

A source said: “Both burglaries may have been carried out by the same team.

“The family of Vichai are understandably very upset.

“His house was totally ransacked and a lot of precious and sentimental items were taken.

“The thieves have effectively desecrated his spirit. None of the items stolen during either of the burglaries have been recovered. Police are apparently working on the assumption that Vichai’s house and the Lampards were both ­deliberately targeted.”

A gang raided Lampard’s townhouse on the 1st of December — after it was previously targeted in 2018. In 2005 and 2008 thieves stole cars from his another property of his, including a Mercedes and Aston Martin.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed they are investigating thieves burgle the homes of Chelsea ­manager Frank Lampard and Leicester’s late owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. No arrests have been made as of yet.
