Gang raid Harry Redknapp's Dorset mansion and steal wife's jewellery
A gang of hammer-wielding thieves raided Harry Redknapp's mansion and stole all his wife's jewellery. Masked burglars broke into the £5 million home of the former Premier League manager last Friday night while he and his wife Sandra were away. The couple, both 78, had put the property in Sandbanks, Dorset, up for sale, prompting fears the perpetrators had used the online listing to study the property. A source told The Sun: 'It was clearly organised. The raiders must have known the house was empty.' The gang were said to have been caught on CCTV breaking into the house wearing masks and armed with hammers and a sledgehammer to get through the door. The source added: 'The raiders were all mixed up. They used lump hammers and a sledgehammer to smash the front door open. 'They were caught on CCTV cameras breaking in and trying to ransack the property looking for valuables.' A spokesman for Redknapp said: 'Harry doesn't want to make a fuss. There was no one in the house at the time and we don't want to comment on what was taken. It's a matter for the police.' A spokesman from Dorset Police said: 'We received a report of a burglary at an address in Poole. Officers attended and carried out enquiries at the property. 'An investigation is under way into the incident. No arrests have been made at this time.' In 2021, the former Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Portsmouth manager and his wife moved into their current home, citing a lack of privacy from the large windows overlooking Sandbanks beach. The pair had featured in the 2020 show Harry Redknapp's Sandbanks Summer.

Harry Redknapp's £5m Sandbanks mansion targeted by hammer-wielding burglars
Burglars armed with hammers have smashed into Harry Redknapp's £5 million mansion in Dorset and stolen jewellery belonging to his wife Sandra The break-in took place last Friday while the couple were away — with the former Spurs and West Ham manager reportedly attending a function and Sandra in London at the time. According to The Sun, masked intruders used a sledgehammer and other tools to force their way through the front door of the luxury gated property. The burglars were caught on CCTV, though it remains unclear how many were involved. Sources said the gang appeared to have specifically targeted the Sandbanks-based home, with speculation they may have used floorplans found online from property listings, as the mansion is currently up for sale. Police have not confirmed the value of the items stolen, but it is understood the burglars made off with jewellery belonging to Mrs Redknapp. The source said: 'It was clearly organised. The raiders must have known the house was empty 'The criminals would only have to keep watch on the property and break in once the coast was clear, knowing the full layout of the house in advance.' A spokesperson for Mr Redknapp told The Sun that Mr Redknapp did not 'want to make a fuss', leaving it as a 'matter for the police.' Dorset Police has confirmed the force is looking for the thieves. The couple have lived in the home since 2021. They are planning on moving to another villa in the Sandbanks beach resort area, which is currently under construction. The Sandbanks is one of the UK's most expensive areas to buy a home, according to Rightmove. Asking prices in the area sit at around three times more expensive than the national average of £378,240. Other residents include interior designer Celia Sawyer and cricketer Sir Geoffrey Boycott. The former was victim to an attempted burglary in May. The Standard reported earlier this week that Redknapp's wife Sandra had been hospitalised. Details of her condition have not been disclosed.

Harry Redknapp's £5million mansion 'is hit by a masked gang': Thugs raid home and flee with wife Sandra's jewellery
A masked gang raided Harry Redknapp's £5million Dorset mansion and stole his wife's jewellery, while police have launched a manhunt to find the thieves. The former Premier League manager and his wife Sandra, both 78, were out when a gang broke into their home last Friday, The Sun reports. The hammer-clad gang allegedly took jewellery belonging to Sandra, as well as other luxury items. A source told The Sun: 'It was clearly organised. The raiders must have known the house was empty.' It is feared that the thugs may have checked out the layout of the house, which is understood to be for sale, on a property website ad. The house is located near Dorset beach resort Sandbanks, where properties are among the most expensive in the world per square foot. The thieves, who were brandishing lump hammers and a sledgehammer to break the front door open, were captured on CCTV scouring through the property. 'They were caught on CCTV cameras breaking in and trying to ransack the property looking for valuables', the source added. 'It was clearly organised and they must have known the house was empty at the time.' Harry was reportedly attending a function on the night of the break-in, while Sandra was in London. Cops confirmed yesterday they were still hunting down the thieves. Daily Mail has approached Harry's representatives and Dorset Police for comment. The property is currently on sale, while the couple's new seaside villa at Sandbanks is completed. They moved into their current £7million home in 2021 after a lack of privacy. The former Tottenham and West Ham manager and his wife splashed out on their new waterside home on the exclusive peninsula and replaced the six bedroom detached house with a luxury three-storey villa built in 'a traditional Italianate architectural style'. Harry who won I'm A Celebrity in 2018, and his wife, have owned homes on spectacularly expensive Sandbanks or in Poole for over two decades. They bought one of the finest homes on Sandbanks - a mock Tudor mansion overlooking the entrance to the harbour – for £3m in 2001. Harry and Sandra are said to have sold the property for £6.9m in 2015 and moved to a brand new £4m mansion five bedroom beachside property just around the corner. They reportedly left the modern glass-fronted property on Sandbanks because they wanted more privacy after getting fed up with tourists staring at their home.
