Ben Stokes's Castle Eden House Robbed, Appeals For Help In Locating Robbers 

The robbery took place on October 17th, 2024, when Ben Stokes was in Pakistan for the three-match test series. In a social media post shared on 'X', [Formerly Twitter], Stokes asked for the help of the fans to identify the robbers. He also expressed grave concern over the incident while also revealing that his wife and kids were at home when the robbery took place. While they were unharmed, the skipper revealed the incident took a toll on their mental state and well-being.

"On the evening of Thursday 17th October a number of masked people burgled my home in the Castle Eden area in the North East. They escaped with jewellery, other valuables and a good deal of personal items. Many of those items have real sentimental value for me and my family. They are irreplaceable. This is an appeal for any help in finding these people who carried out this act.

"By far the worst thing about this crime is that it was carried out whilst my wife and 2 young children were in the house. Thankfully, none of my family came to any physical harm. Understandably, however, the experience has had an impact on their emotional and mental state. All we can think about is how much worse this situation could have been," Ben Stokes tweeted on 'X'.
