In a dramatic response to the growing wave of celebrity home invasions sweeping through Britain's most exclusive neighbourhoods, Rochelle and Marvin Humes have taken extraordinary security measures by investing a staggering £40,000 in professional guard dogs.
The celebrity couple, who have built successful careers in music and television, decided to act decisively after learning about multiple high-profile break-ins targeting famous faces across the country. The move highlights the increasing concerns among public figures about their family's safety.
Elite Protection for Family Home
The Humes have enlisted the services of specialist security firm Zeus K9, known for providing protection dogs to royalty, celebrities, and high-net-worth individuals. These aren't ordinary family pets - they're highly trained German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois specifically bred and conditioned for protective work.
"When you hear about what's happening to other celebrities, it makes you realise nobody is immune," a source close to the couple revealed. "Rochelle in particular was deeply affected by these stories. As parents, their primary concern is keeping their children safe."
The Rising Trend in Celebrity Security
This security upgrade comes amid what industry experts are calling an "unprecedented" surge in targeted burglaries against celebrity properties. Several well-known personalities have fallen victim to sophisticated criminal operations that monitor social media and track movements to identify vulnerable properties.
Zeus K9, the security company behind the Humes' new protection team, has seen business increase by 300% in the past year alone. Their dogs undergo intensive training that includes:
- Advanced obedience and patrol work
- Threat assessment and neutralisation techniques
- Family integration and child safety protocols
- 24/7 protective instinct development
Beyond Traditional Security Systems
While the Humes' £2 million property already features state-of-the-art alarm systems and CCTV, the couple recognised that determined criminals often bypass electronic security. The guard dogs provide a living, breathing layer of protection that can detect and respond to threats in ways technology cannot.
"These animals become part of the family while maintaining their protective capabilities," explained a security expert familiar with the arrangement. "They're trained to differentiate between normal visitors and potential threats, offering peace of mind that goes beyond what cameras and alarms can provide."
The investment reflects a growing trend among high-profile individuals who are no longer relying solely on traditional security measures in an increasingly dangerous climate for celebrity homeowners.
