Masked burglars broke into a Liverpool property on Friday evening, reported to be the home of Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti.

In the raid, the burglars stole a safe, but Merseyside Police have said that the occupants of the home were unharmed.

Merseyside Police said two men, wearing black waterproof clothing and black balaclavas, entered the property at Hall Road East, Crosby, on Friday evening. They were reportedly disturbed by Ancelotti’s daughter, according to The Liverpool Echo.

The force, which was alerted at around 6.35pm, said: "Officers attended and enquiries into the incident are ongoing. The property will be forensically examined and CCTV opportunities are being explored."

The Liverpool Echo reported that the home belongs to Ancelotti, who joined the Premier League club in December 2019.
