It’s claimed the criminals – all wearing masks – were caught on CCTV helping themselves to valuables in the property as a source said the r0bbery was “clearly organised”.
“The raiders must have known the house was empty,” a source told the publication. “They used lump hammers and a sledgehammer to smash the front door open.
“They were caught on CCTV cameras breaking in and trying to ransack the property looking for valuables. It was clearly organised and they must have known the house was empty at the time.”
A spokesman for Redknapp told The Sun: “Harry doesn’t want to make a fuss. There was no one in the house at the time and we don’t want to comment on what was taken. It’s a matter for the p0l!ce.”
