Thieves raided the homes of Chelsea ­manager, Frank Lampard and Leicester City’s  late owner ,Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha amid the coronavirus pandemic crisis. The burglars were said to have stolen  more than £1million of valuables from late billionaire Srivaddhanaprabha house,  which had been left as a shrine after his death.

The heist in Knightsbridge, West London, came ten days after a similar raid on Lampard’s £12million home in nearby Chelsea. Item such as jewellery and watches worth £60,000 of belonging to Lampard and wife Christine were reportedly stolen.

It was the fourth time Lampard has been targeted. Details of the break-ins, last December, have never been made public by  the UKpolice. But Flying Squad detectives are said to be  studying CCTV footage of  crooks said to be  targeting the rich and famous who are  believed to be responsible for the crime.

Reports say the Thai family of Vichai are devastated about the raid at his home, which has been untouched since the 60-year-old Foxes boss died in a ­chopper crash at Leicester in October 2018.

A source said: “Both burglaries may have been carried out by the same team The family of Vichai are understandably very upset. His house was totally ransacked and a lot of precious and sentimental items were taken. The thieves have effectively desecrated his spirit. None of the items stolen during either of the burglaries have been recovered. Police are apparently working on the assumption that Vichai’s house and the Lampards were both ­deliberately targeted.”

Recall that on 1st December 2018 a gang raided Lampard’s townhouse — after it was previously targeted.  In 2005 and 2008 thieves also  stole cars from his ­previous home, including a Mercedes and Aston Martin. The Metropolitan Police which confirmed it was investigating the incident said no arrest have been made so far.
