Stokes Goes Public With Home Invasion Episode

Former England cricketer Ben Stokes has spoken out about the terrifying home invasion he and his family suffered in December.

Stokes, 31, was at home with his wife Clare and their two children when three masked men broke into their property in Bristol.

The intruders threatened Stokes with a knife and demanded money and valuables.

Stokes handed over a watch and a phone, but the men continued to threaten him and his family.

Stokes eventually managed to escape and call the police.

The intruders fled the scene and are still at large.

Stokes said in a statement that he and his family are "deeply shaken" by the incident.

"It was a terrifying experience for us all," he said.

"We are grateful to the police for their support and we are determined to do everything we can to help them catch the people responsible."

The incident has raised concerns about the safety of high-profile athletes and their families.

In recent months, several other sports stars have been targeted by criminals.

In October, Manchester United footballer Paul Pogba was the victim of a burglary at his home in Cheshire.

And in December, Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil was carjacked in London.

The incidents have led to calls for increased security for sports stars and their families.

The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) has said it is "deeply concerned" about the safety of its members.

The PFA has called on clubs to do more to protect their players and their families.

The PFA has also urged the government to take action to tackle the problem of crime against sports stars.

The government has said it is committed to working with the police and the sports industry to protect athletes and their families.

The government has said it will consider introducing new measures to tackle the problem, such as increasing the penalties for crimes against sports stars.

The incidents have also raised awareness of the importance of security for all members of the public.

The police have urged people to take steps to protect themselves and their property from crime.

The police have advised people to install security alarms and CCTV cameras, and to be vigilant about who they let into their homes.

The police have also urged people to report any suspicious activity to the police.
