Man City star Jack Grealish and his girlfriend moved into his Cheshire mansion just days before it was raided by burglars, MailOnline can reveal.
Neighbours said the celebrity couple began living in the sprawling home on December 23 or Christmas Eve. It was burgled on Wednesday night.
They said Grealish was worried about burglaries and had spent £500,000 on security fencing for the 24-acre estate.
Other shocked neighbours said they heard Grealish's panic alarm sound for 20 minutes after the 9.50pm raid before hearing a police helicopter.
One said: 'It's a real shame as he's only just moved in on Christmas Eve or the day before.
