Following Manchester City’s victory, Jack and other England stars are expected to spend thousands of pounds on “military-grade” security measures to protect their homes during the Euros following a spate of burglaries.
Sasha was with her family watching Jack’s game at home and pressed the panic button when the robbers struck.
Ten family members, including Sasha, her parents, two sisters and her brother, are believed to have been at the property at the time of the robbery.
Sharing a photo of himself with his dog, Jack addressed the incident for the first time on Instagram on Sunday, describing the incident as “traumatic.”
Jack’s family were forced to run and hide inside the £5.6million mansion Jack moved into before Christmas, as police told neighbours to lock their doors and stay indoors.
Police, fearing a possible hostage situation, rushed to the scene and even sent a helicopter to search the area, but the attackers were able to escape with £1m worth of jewellery.
Sasha was left “terrified” by the Boxing Day raid and no longer feels safe alone in the property, sources told MailOnline.
They are expected to spend around £250,000 on infrared and night vision cameras, as well as 24-hour security throughout the tournament in Germany.
A source said: ‘Sasha is devastated by this. Sasha has had to deal with death threats and online abuse time and time again during her time with Jack.
‘But now she feels very different. People coming to her new home like this has left her terrified. She hasn’t been alone since it happened and right now she doesn’t want to be.
“Jack is particularly angry at the impact this has had on Sasha. They have been together for almost half their lives and he loves her deeply.
“Now he’ll do whatever it takes to protect her. They have their dream home, but that means nothing if she’s not happy and Jack wants her to feel as safe as possible there.”
