Beckham’s Housekeepers Avoid Prosecution
| December 18, 2008
Ex-housekeepers of Posh and Becks’s mansion will not be charged after facing allegations of supposedly stealing items from the home and trying to sell in on eBay.
Eric and June Emmett worked at the house in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire but were arrested on the 10th of October after suspicions arose following missing items.
In a further twist to the tale, the couple’s son, Gareth, was also taken in for questioning three days later. All were released on bail.
However, the local constabulary, Hertfordshire Police have declared that a prosecution will not go ahead.
In a statement the force said, “After consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service, no further action has been taken at this stage against the three people arrested in connection with an allegation of theft from the Sawbridgeworth home of David and Victoria Beckham.
“The injured party in this case is aware of the status of the investigation.”
The alarm was raised in the Beckham’s household after memorabilia owned by the infamous couple mysteriously started to appear on eBay.
Posh’s parents, Tony and Jackie Adams, noticed some of the Spice Girl’s designer clobber on sale as well as David’s worn football boots before they found out the items had gone missing from the couple’s Rowneybury House mansion.
Supposedly on offer on the site included football boots bearing the names of Posh and Becks three sons - Brooklyn, Cruz and Romeo.
Following their arrest, 55 year old Mr Emmett from Nazeing, near Waltham Abbey in Essex, said the charges he, his 56 year old wife and their son were “fabricated nonsense”.
Former England captain and Real Madrid player Beckham, 33, upped sticks and re-located to LA with the whole brood last year in a buzz of media attention.
The family now split their days between the LA home and Rowneybury House, otherwise known as “Beckingham Palace”. The couple held their infamous pre-world cup charity party there in 2006.
