Jewellery worth £1million was stolenThe family was not harmedPressed the panic button to alert policeWHAT HAPPENED?

The incident occurred while Grealish was away playing in Manchester City's 3-1 victory against Everton on Wednesday night. During the raid, £1 million ($1.3m) worth of jewellery was stolen. Grealish's fiancee Sasha Attwood, along with other family members, which included Grealish's parents, two sisters, and brother, were watching the match when they heard barking dogs and noises upstairs which prompted them to activate the panic buttons to alert the police before seeking refuge inside the recently-acquired £5.6 million ($7.1m) mansion.

After the final whistle, City's head of player support and protocol, Manel Estiarte, informed Grealish about the incident, which visibly impacted the player as he rushed to the dressing room.

A source told "The family are really shaken. The gang took a lot of watches and jewellery. They executed their raid when Manchester City were playing live on TV and all his family had gathered downstairs to cheer him on. No one was injured but there was a lot of panic. Everyone was terrified as they were all so vulnerable.

"It's an enormous property, so it is understandable why no one heard anything at first. It was also the first time the family had visited so they were unfamiliar with the property. When the dogs went mad, and they could hear people creeping about, they pressed the security panic alarm

Cheshire Police will continue their investigation on the case as Grealish will look to brush aside the setback and focus on City's next encounter against Sheffield United on Saturday.
