Ex-serviceman Admits Attempted Burglary Of Wayne Rooney's £6million Home

A former member of the British Armed Forces has admitted trying to burgle Manchester United star Wayne Rooney's home while he played in a testimonial match.

Ex-serviceman Robert McNamara pleaded guilty at Chester Crown Court to the attempted burglary of the striker's home in Prestbury, Cheshire, on August 3.

An alarm was triggered at the £6million property in at about 9pm and police descended to carry out a full search of the area.

Rooney, his wife, Coleen, and their three sons, Kai, Klay and Kit, were attending the charity tribute game at Old Trafford against his first club, Everton, when the break-in bid took place.

Judge Nicholas Woodward said there were "very worrying features" in the case as he adjourned sentencing until December 21 for a pre-sentence report to be carried out by the Probation Service.
