Ben Stokes's Family Home Burgled During Pakistan Tour

England cricket captain Ben Stokes' home in Castle Eden was burgled by a masked gang while he was in Pakistan for a Test series, leaving his wife Clare and children Layton and Libby traumatized. The burglary occurred on October 17, during the second Test against Pakistan, with the thieves stealing valuable items, including jewelry and Stokes' OBE medal, items of both material and sentimental value. Stokes expressed relief that his family was unharmed but noted the significant emotional impact of the incident. He made a public appeal for assistance in identifying the perpetrators and shared photos of the stolen items to aid the investigation. Stokes' primary aim is to catch the burglars rather than recover the possessions, emphasizing the community's role in seeking justice. The police are actively investigating the case, with support from Stokes and his followers to provide any relevant information.
