London
(ANI):
It
has
emerged
that
raiders,
who
had
broken
into
the
mansion
X
Factor
co-judge
Cheryl
Cole
shares
with
her
footie
ace
husband
Ashley,
had
been
after
her
two
310,000
pounds
wedding
rings.
The
Chelsea
star,
who
was
home
when
the
incident
took
place,
woke
up
as
a
window
was
forced
in
the
early
hours
of
February
18
at
the
4million
pounds
mansion.
He
immediately
dialled
999
and
told
cops,
“Please
come
quick.
Someone"s
trying
to
break
in." The
police
are
convinced
the
raiders
struck
after
seeing
photos
of
Cheryl,
26,
flying
out
from
Britain
wearing
neither
of
her
two
diamond
rings.
The
English
footballer
had
bought
the
first,
a
150,000-pound
heart-shaped
rock,
for
the
couple"s
2006
wedding,
and
he
gave
her
a
square-cut
dazzler
worth
160,000
pounds
in
2008
after
he
was
exposed
for
romping
with
hairdresser
Aimee
Walton.
Cheryl
had
on
February
17
been
photographed
flying
out
of
Heathrow
to
Los
Angeles
wearing
neither
of
the
rings,
choosing
instead
to
wear
an
enormous
gold
“decoy"
ring.
The
pictures
were
then
posted
on
the
Internet,
leading
cops
to
believe
that
the
raiders
acted
on
the
thought
that
they
would
be
at
the
Surrey
mansion
and
easy
pickings.
The
raiders
however
managed
to
escape
before
the
cops
arrived,
and
it
is
not
known
if
they
had
managed
to
steal
the
rings
or
not.
One
theory
being
worked
on
by
detectives
is
that
a
member
of
the
Coles"
inner
circle
fed
the
burglars
information.
“It
cannot
be
coincidence
that
people
attempt
to
break
into
the
family
home
when
both
of
them
are
due
to
be
out
of
the
UK,"
the
Sun
quoted
a
senior
police
source
as
saying.
