Thieves tried to break into Cheryl and Ashley Cole’s £3.5million mansion early this morning at around 4:30am in an apparent attempt to steal Cheryl’s wedding rings.
The attempted burglary came just hours after Cheryl was pictured flying to Los Angeles without her wedding ring on.
Ashley was woken at 4.30am as thieves tried to force entry at the Surrey mansion.
He quickly called police and said: ‘Please come quick, someone’s trying to break in,’ according to The Sun.
Police arrived minutes later but the thieves had fled.
A Surrey Police spokesman confirmed: ‘We can confirm that officers were called to a house in Surrey at around 4.30am yesterday morning following reports of an attempted break in.
‘Investigations are ongoing.’
Sources said that Chelsea and England star Cole was not alone in the property at the time.
The Sun reported that police were said to be convinced the raiders were after Cheryl’s two wedding rings.
But a source told MailOnline: ‘Nothing was taken and they didn’t manage to get inside the house.’
Police were said to be investigating a theory that the burglars were informed by a member of Coles’ inner circle that he was unlikely to be home.
He was expected to escape the scandal surrounding his marriage by fleeing to his mother’s house – but then decided to stay at home nursing his ankle injury.
‘It cannot be coincidence that people attempt to break into the family home when both of them are due to be out of the UK,’ a police source told The Sun.
‘And it happens when there is widespread publicity that Mrs Cole is not wearing her wedding ring.
‘Whether they were acting on some kind of insider information is certainly possible.’
