Chelsea icon and Aston Villa manager John Terry and his wife Toni are selling their £5.5 million Surrey home after being traumatized by robbers defecating at the foot of their bed during a £400,000 raid.

In February 2017, four Arsenal fans targeted and burgled their family home after John, 39, posted an Instagram photo from the family’s skiing trip.

According to a family acquaintance, the residence serves as a memory of a traumatic night that they wish to forget. They were particularly outraged by the fact that one of the men had left a soiled protest at the end of the bed.

Time to go on: Chelsea icon John Terry is selling his £5.5 million Surrey property after he and wife Toni were terrified by burglars defecating on the floor during a £400,000 raid back in 2017.

A family acquaintance stated, ‘Poor Toni couldn’t unsee the sight. They started hunting for a new home right away.

A spokesman for John Terry declined to comment further on MailOnline.

The six-bedroom mansion boasts a pool and an outdoor kitchen, and John spent £2.5 million for it.

Darren Eastaugh, 30, Joshua Sumer, 27, Roy Head, 28, and Oliver Hart, 25, all pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit burglary between February 1 and March 27.

The scheme involves seven burglaries in Surrey and Sussex earlier this year, totaling £600,000. At Kingston Crown Court, all four received sentences of 27 years and 11 months in prison.

Mansion: The six-bedroom mansion boasts a pool and an outdoor kitchen. John paid £2.5 million for the home, which was formerly owned by golfer Colin Montgomerie.

A fifth guy, Kye Hardy-King, 25, pled guilty to one count of handling stolen goods after some of the stolen material was discovered in his residence.Police were able to track them down using DNA from excrement found at the scene.

They struck after the footballer posed for images on the slopes of the French Alps with his wife Toni, 37, and boasted to his 3.4 million followers that he was having a ‘wonderful few days away skiing with the family’.

The couple uploaded images and videos of their luxury getaway, unaware that they had caught the attention of a violent band of criminals.

The men spent hours ransacking the house, taking designer handbags worth £126,000 and rare signed first edition Harry Potter books worth £18,000.

 

Burglars attacked after the player posed for photos on the slopes of the French Alps with his wife Toni, 37, bragging to his 3.4 million followers that he was enjoying a ‘wonderful few days away skiing with the family’.

Regarding the Terry burglary, Judge Susan Tapping stated: “It might have been a mistake to post a family photograph on social media to show he was away on holiday.”

‘As a result, his residence was purposefully targeted, and the main bedroom suite was looted.

They spent some time looking for goods to steal. Not satisfied with the original haul, they returned with a third man and an angle grinder, desperate to open the safe.

The judge sentenced them at the time, saying: “Over a period of about one month earlier this year, four of the defendants, along with others unidentified, embarked on a series of carefully planned burglaries.”

‘By the time police monitoring was in place, some defendants were spotted searching for potential homes to attack.

Oh, dear: The former Chelsea captain and his wife often posted images on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook that revealed their opulent lifestyle.

‘Large detached houses were only considered since it was expected that high-end luxury goods would be available.

‘In fact, the effort was quite effective, with £600,000 in luxury items stolen over the course of seven thefts. Four of the defendants are skilled, if not professional, burglars.

She claimed the gang took or destroyed approximately £400,000 in merchandise, making this the’most profitable’ of the seven burglaries, and that none of the items were found.

Not all of the burglaries occurred at night, and some were carried out when someone was present, including a newly widowed woman who discovered one in her kitchen.

The court heard that she is now feeling ‘nervous and alone in her own house’.

 

Shocking: The burglars were thought to be Arsenal fans and the items taken have still never been recovered
