England cricket captain Ben Stokes revealed a burglary at his home where masked thieves stole jewellery and irreplaceable personal items while his family was present. The incident profoundly affected his family, but Stokes aims to assist police in capturing the culprits by sharing information publicly.

England cricket captain Ben Stokes disclosed a distressing burglary incident at his Castle Eden home, where masked intruders made off with jewellery and priceless personal items. Despite being away for a national team tour in Pakistan, the burglary took place while his family was at home.

The crime occurred on October 17, coinciding with the third day of the second test series between Pakistan and England. Among the stolen items was Stokes' OBE, a prestigious honor bestowed by the British Empire. His family was unharmed physically, but emotionally affected by the trauma.

The cricket star made the burglary public to assist the police in their investigation, providing photographs of the stolen items. Stokes emphasized that his main objective is apprehending the culprits, rather than retrieving the possessions.
