Man, 32, arrested after burglary at home of cricket star Ben Stokes

Date:

Police were called to a break-in at the cricket star’s home in Castle Eden on October 17, while he was playing in Pakistan, where high-value items were taken.

Stokes revealed his wife and two children were in his home at the time of the terrifying ordeal – but thankfully his family did not come to any physical harm.

The 33-year-old posted several pictures of the missing “sentimental” items on social media earlier this week, which included the medal for the OBE he received in 2020, a Christian Dior handbag, a gold ring with England cricket insignia, and bracelets.

Now, Durham Constabulary has confirmed that a 32-year-old man from North Yorkshire was arrested overnight on suspicion of burglary. He has been bailed while investigations continue. 

A force spokesperson said: “A man has been arrested following a burglary at the home of an England cricketer.
