Masked raiders tried to break into Wayne Rooney’s mansion

Rooney was playing testimonial match during attempted break-in

Newsroom August 5 10:54

MASKED raiders tried to break in to  Wayne Rooney’s £6million home while he was playing in his testimonial match, The Sun can reveal.
Police raced to the Cheshire mansion he shares with wife Coleen and their three young sons Kai, Klay and Kit after a balaclava-clad intruder triggered its elaborate ­security system. England captain Wayne was said to be “deeply shocked” by Wednesday’s events.
Neighbours described the scene as cops pounced on the masked raiders as “like something out of an action film”.
The attempted robbery happened as the Man Utd star was playing in his testimonial match at Old Trafford.
Lights and sirens blared as elaborate security system detected the potential intrusion, bringing a swarm of cops racing to the property.
Within minutes, they had scrambled a helicopter and three patrol cars, while dog handlers scoured the mansion grounds.
One resident in the village of Prestbury, Cheshire, said: “Wayne has amazing security to make sure his wife Coleen and the kids are OK while he is away. The raiders struck between 8.30pm and 8.45pm on Wednesday as Roo played against first club Everton in front of 58,000 fans at his home ground. CCTV footage showed a man in a balaclava  holding something  at the front door of the  house.
He peered through the windows before tripping the alarm.
As cops pounced, he ran off  to a waiting getaway car, dropping his backpack.
