Police shelve probe into raid at Wright and Keegan’s Essex home
The investigation into the burglary of Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan's £3.5 million Essex mansion has been shelved by police due to lack of progress. Four masked raiders broke into the property in February 2025 when the then-heavily pregnant actress and the former TOWIE star, both 39, were inside, forcing them to lock themselves in a bedroom for safety. Although the couple were not physically harmed and the burglars fled empty-handed after Mark raised the alarm, the case has now been filed after CCTV and forensic evidence failed to identify the suspects.
Essex Police confirmed that extensive enquiries including area searches, witness interviews, forensic examination and CCTV assessment had been conducted, but ultimately yielded no leads to pursue the investigation further. Detectives believe the gang may have been professionals targeting the property after spotting it on social media, where the couple regularly document their home renovations on their Instagram account Wrightyhome, which has 645,000 followers. The couple, who welcomed their daughter Palma shortly after the incident, are said to have been "very shaken up" by the experience, though they are relieved no one was injured.

Mark Wright, a former TOWIE star, and actress Michelle Keegan experienced a break-in at their £3.5 million Essex home in February 2025 when four masked burglars forced their way inside. The couple, both 39 with Keegan heavily pregnant, locked themselves in a bedroom; the intruders fled empty-handed when Wright raised the alarm and no one was harmed.
The couple are well-known figures who regularly share details of their home renovations on Instagram, with their Wrightyhome account attracting over 645,000 followers. Officers suspected the burglars were professionals who specifically targeted the property after spotting it online, raising concerns about security risks from publicly documenting valuable homes.
