London police search for Ted Lasso thieves who robbed four homes featured in the hit show
Police in London are trying to track down a group of thieves who robbed four homes featured in the Apple TV+ comedy “Ted Lasso” over the last two months, including one incidentally belonging to a famous English rockstar.Multiple homes across London’s Richmond Green have been ransacked as the group remains at large.The houses were all used as sets for the show.Residents in the area suspect that the houses were specifically targeted because of their shared involvement with the Emmy-winning series.“It’s devastating.
People are terrified they are going to be hit next,” one neighbor told The Sun.The first home, an eight-bedroom apartment, was robbed on Nov.2.
The thieves somehow managed to make off with an entire unopened case that had a slew of valuables in it including jewelry.The tenants, shaken by the violating crime, picked up and moved shortly after, neighbors told The Sun.The gang tried to break into the $3.4 million home used by Hannah Waddingham’s character in early December, but the residents woke up during the attempted robbery.
The group fled, leaving behind a ladder they used to enter the garden.A four-bed house nearby was then desecrated on Dec.18.
The thieves once again took a safe with them — this time, one that had been bolted down.It supposedly contained nearly $500,000 of jewelry.
The robbery took place just after the home’s residents had left, which raised alarm that they might’ve been watched or even staked out in advance, according to The Sun.Rock musician Richard Ashcroft’s $9 million home was broken into on Dec.29 while he and his wife Kate Radley were away.The home’s alarms went off and neighbors notified police, but by the time they arrived, the raiders were long gone with an estimated $1.2 million of items stolen, including a luxury watch.“The police would have stood a good chance of catching the gang if they turned up when called But now the gang are free to find their next target.
We’re all now living in fear...
