Intruder Arrested at David Beckham's Home

LONDON - An intruder with a can of gasoline was arrested after scaling a wall around the grounds of David and Victoria Beckham's home, a spokesman for Victoria Beckham said.

The Sun newspaper reported Tuesday that the former Spice Girl was at home with the couple's young sons, Brooklyn and Romeo, at the time of Sunday's incident at the mansion, dubbed "Beckingham Palace."

David Beckham, the England and Real Madrid soccer star, was in Spain preparing for pre-season training at the time.

Hertfordshire Police confirmed a 38-year-old man had been arrested at the estate north of London on suspicion of possessing an article intended to cause criminal damage.

A spokesman for Victoria Beckham, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the couple's private security guards apprehended the man before police officers and a helicopter arrived at the scene.

The alleged intruder, who also was suspected of drug possession, was released on bail and ordered to return to a local police station on Sept. 24.

The Sun reported that the man appeared angry with Beckham and intended to burn down the house, but police would release no details.


:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Jesus, I can't believe they let this guy out on bail.

those hooligans don't fuck around


you miss a penalty kick and you're in for all kinds of drama :)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

No shit. Why in God's name would they allow this fucker to go free?

well.. Beckham is lucky not to be living in Columbia.. :1orglaugh :helpme

He'd definately have been stuffed in a wooden crate atleast once or twice. I know people down here who've lived through that. Columbians are fucking ruthless.

They hold you for ransom, get the ransom money multiple times (like when you pay, they tell you pay again or they'll kill your beloved)....and when they feel they've taken enough cash, they kill the person anyways. Sometimes you're paying while the person is already dead...

I've already seen 4 people shot in person at bars here in 3 weeks, by Columbians few feet away from me. Right in the face.

Anyone going to Columbia should watch themselves :warning

As for the asshole being released, that happens all the time.

That is almost as bad as a burgler breaking a leg in your house with your watch in his pocket, and then sueing you and winning.


As for traveling to Cloumbia:

Any american going there is out of their damn mind, You are a major target. Remember that they think that you are rich and worth a ton of money!!

Cops were probably pissed about the missed penalty kick too. :2 cents:

People go nutty over football. (soccer)

crazy shit.

wow thats some scary shit

:eek7

And why are you still there? Is there any reason you feel safe?

this storey could have turned out alot differently. thank god those kids are safe. :2 cents:
