England stars have spared no expense in beefing up their home security to outsmart the Away Day burglary gangs while they compete in the Euros.
Members of Gareth Southgate’s squad have gone all out, installing top-notch military-grade equipment to prevent a repeat of the unfortunate raid on Raheem Sterling’s home during the World Cup.
Sterling had to rush back from the tournament in Qatar back in December 2022 when thieves made off with £300,000 worth of designer watches while his family was at home.
Since then, high-profile burglaries at other players’ homes have continued to make headlines, including incidents involving Manchester City’s Jack Grealish and Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak.
Now that the Three Lions have touched down in Germany, they are taking every precaution to secure their luxury mansions during the tournament.
A source revealed, “Players don’t want any worry or distractions while away. They’ve seen what’s happened previously and want to make sure their focus is on the tournament, at any cost.”
Security firms have pulled out all the stops, installing cutting-edge technology like night vision cameras with a detection range of 150ft and 8K resolution. Ex-Army personnel with highly trained guard dogs will also be patrolling their homes, along with surveillance drones with 360-degree vision.
The players’ increased focus on home security comes after reports of Wags splurging on private bodyguards for the tournament amid fears of terrorism threats.
Security experts have praised the players for prioritizing their home security, emphasizing the importance of peace of mind for both players and their families.
The squad has already arrived in Germany and settled into their Euros base at the Weimarer Golf Hotel and Spa. Manager Gareth Southgate wasted no time getting the team onto the training pitch to prepare for their upcoming match against Serbia after a disappointing loss to Iceland last week.
