A forensic investigation took place the morning after the attempted break in.

London’s Metropolitan Police gave an account on social media in relation to the incident, “Police were called at approximately 00:40hrs to reports of an attempted burglary at a residential property.”


“Officers attended. The suspects had left the scene prior to police arrival. There was no evidence that they had gained access to the property.”

“Inquiries are ongoing. At this early stage, there have been no arrests.”

Former Met Police Chief Inspector, Mick Neville said, “It is quite possible they staked out the address in advance and knew Dec lives there.”

“The burglars are probably a professional team if they’re prepared to burgle a celebrity’s home with good CCTV and security.”
