Vardy Villa Raided: £80K Looted in Italian Dream Shattered

Footballer Jamie Vardy and his wife Rebekah Vardy have experienced a distressing burglary at their new villa in Salo, overlooking Lake Garda, just six weeks after relocating to Italy. The couple, who sought a more serene life away from the UK and the Wagatha Christie fallout, had their hopes for a peaceful existence shattered when their home was raided.

While Jamie Vardy was playing a match, burglars broke into the villa through an open window, making off with an estimated £80,000 worth of valuables, including jewellery and a Patek Philippe watch. A babysitter was present in a separate wing of the large property but did not realize the break-in was occurring. Police believe the perpetrators were aware of the couple's movements.

The incident has deeply affected Rebekah Vardy, who expressed shock and dismay. Despite the distressing event, the couple reportedly plans to include the burglary in their upcoming ITV documentary series about their move to Italy. This latest drama adds another layer to their public narrative, as they also face competition from a new Disney+ series about the Wagatha Christie case.
