Footballer Shola Ameobi thought messy mansion was result of burglary
The furious Newcastle star, 27, called cops detailing the items stolen, including his cheque book.
Then the truth hit home to the dopey striker, 27 – his £500,000 pad had not been ransacked, he had just left it incredibly messy. One police source said in disbelief yesterday: “We were told thieves had taken a number of things, the most important one being the chequebook.
“Given what soccer stars earn, that was obviously a matter of great concern. Then we got a call back saying nothing was missing after all.
“Perhaps he had had a party and the place just looked as if it had been burgled.”
Cops were about to visit him about the “break-in” in Newcastle’s Jesmond district when shame-faced Shola owned up to his howler.
A police spokesman confirmed: “We received a report of a theft from a house in Jesmond but it appears to have been a genuine misunderstanding.
