Television presenter Maya Jama and her partner, Manchester City defender Ruben Dias, have been left devastated after their luxurious £4 million mansion in Cheshire was targeted and ransacked by a criminal gang. The high-profile couple were not at home during the incident, which occurred in the exclusive area known as the Cheshire Golden Triangle.
Premier League Star Discovers Break-In
Ruben Dias returned to the couple's Alderley Edge property at approximately 11pm on Wednesday, 28th January, to discover the distressing scene. He immediately contacted emergency services by dialling 999 to report the burglary. Police officers attended the address and confirmed that forced entry had been made and a number of valuable items were stolen.
Property Details and Security Measures
The 6,300 square foot mansion, which the couple moved into as their first home together, boasts extensive amenities and significant security features. These include:
- Landscaped gardens and a full indoor leisure suite with a swimming pool
- A spa bath, sauna, and a private gymnasium
- A sophisticated zoned alarm system and comprehensive CCTV coverage
- Electric gates and a dedicated security detail that conducts random spot checks
Despite these precautions, criminals managed to breach the property and make off with expensive personal belongings, including jewellery, electronics, and clothing.
Couple's Whereabouts During the Burglary
Fortunately, neither Maya Jama nor Ruben Dias were present at the time of the break-in. Maya was in South Africa, filming for the latest series of Love Island All Stars, while Ruben was engaged in Manchester City's match against Galatasaray. A source close to the couple revealed their profound upset, stating, "They are devastated. The house is the first they have moved into as a couple and is very special to them. Thankfully, neither was at home, but they are very upset that their personal space has been invaded."
Exclusive Location: The Cheshire Golden Triangle
The village of Alderley Edge, where the property is situated, forms part of the affluent Cheshire Golden Triangle. This region is renowned for being home to numerous Premier League footballers and other high-net-worth individuals, attracted by its seclusion and prestige. The source added that the couple particularly valued the property's location on a quiet street with no passing traffic, which they believed offered additional privacy and security.
Police Investigation Underway
Cheshire Police have confirmed they are investigating the incident. A spokesperson stated: "Shortly after 11.10pm on Wednesday 28 January, police received reports of a burglary at an address in Alderley Edge. Officers attended and found entry had been made to the property and a number of items had been stolen. Enquiries are currently ongoing." The force continues to pursue active lines of enquiry regarding the burglary.
The representatives for Maya Jama and Ruben Dias have been approached for further comment on the distressing event, which has invaded the couple's personal sanctuary and caused significant emotional distress.
