Ben Stokes’s House Burgled
In a heartfelt social media post, Stokes described the traumatic experience. He stated, “A number of masked people burgled my home in the Castle Eden area in the northeast.

Stokes expressed deep concern for his family’s emotional well-being, saying, “The worst thing about this crime is that it was carried out whilst my wife and two young children were in the house.” Thankfully, no physical harm came to them, but the psychological impact has been significant.
Stokes Requests Public’s Help
Stokes has made a public appeal for any information related to the burglary. He emphasized that while they have lost irreplaceable items, his primary goal is to catch those responsible. “Although we have lost cherished possessions, my sole motivation in sharing these photographs is not the recovery of material items. It is to catch the people who did this,” he stated.
