A safe was stolen in a burglary of Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti’s house.
Police were called to Hall Road East in Blundellsands shortly after 6.30pm on Friday to reports that two masked men had broken into the property.
Ancelotti is not believed to have been inside the house when the incident took place but his daughter is said to have disturbed the burglars who ran outside.
“We are appealing for information after a safe was stolen in a burglary in Crosby on Friday evening,” said a Merseyside Police spokesperson.
“We were called at 6.35pm to a report two males had entered a property on Hall Road East at around 6.30pm.
“The offenders were described as wearing black waterproof clothing, possibly with white writing on, and black balaclavas.
“The occupants of the house were unharmed.
“Officers attended and enquiries into the incident are ongoing. The property will be forensically examined and CCTV opportunities are being explored.”
Ancelotti was appointed Everton manager in December 2019, signing a four-and-a-half year deal to become Marco Silva’s permanent replacement.
