Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Stokes shared he was robbed of jewellery and other valuables and a good deal of personal items and sought help in locating the burglars.

“On the evening of Thursday 17th October, a number of masked people burgled my home in the Castle Eden area in the North East. They escaped with jewellery, other valuables and a good deal of personal items. Many of those items have real sentimental value for me and my family. They are irreplaceable,” Stokes wrote.

“This is an appeal for any help in finding these people who carried out this act,” he added.

The date of the burglary, mentioned by Ben Stokes, was during the second Test between Pakistan and England.

The all-rounder also shared a series of pictures with a detailed statement, which suggested that his OBE medal was among the stolen valuables.

“By far the worst thing about this crime is that it was carried out whilst my wife and 2 young children were in the house.

“Thankfully, none of my family came to any physical harm. Understandably, however, the experience has had an impact on their emotional and mental state. All we can think about is how much worse this situation could have been.”

“I am releasing photographs of some of the stolen items – which I hope may be easily identified – in the hope that we can find the people who are responsible for this.

“Although we have lost cherished possessions, to be clear, my sole motivation in sharing these photographs is not the recovery of material items. It is to catch the people who did this.”
