Man arrested over burglary at cricketer Ben Stokes’s County Durham home

A man has been arrested following a burglary at the home of England cricket captain Ben Stokes.

Stokes, who was in Pakistan for the recent Test series, said his wife and two children were at the property in Castle Eden, County Durham, during the break-in on 17 October.

Durham Police said a 32-year-old man from North Yorkshire was arrested overnight on suspicion of burglary.

He has been released on bail while the investigation continues, the force added.

The 33-year-old said his family did not come to “any physical harm” but a number of “sentimental” items were taken, including the medal for his OBE which he received in 2020.

“By far the worst thing about this crime is that it was carried out while my wife and two young children were in the house,” he previously said.
