Chelsea contact police after mysterious £30k training ground revelation
Chelsea reportedly called the police after £30,000 worth of camera equipment went missing from their training ground. The Blues have trained at their base in Cobham, Surrey since 2005 before it was officially opened two years later. Chelsea are missing camera equipment, with the season just around the cornerAFP First-team players returned to Cobham earlier this week ahead of the start of the new Premier League season next weekend. But as reported by The Sun, Chelsea noticed the disappearance of camera gear worth around £30k and contacted Surrey Police. It is said that the equipment may have simply been mislaid and could reappear once club staff return from their summer breaks. However, Chelsea still called the police due to the suspicious incident. Like many elite football clubs, the Blues use a variety of camera tech for training and social media purposes. Footage from the training ground and matches help players improve their tactics, as well as physical, technical and mental performance. Chelsea’s training base, which reportedly cost £20m, sits less than 20 miles south west of Stamford Bridge. Players such as Raheem Sterling and Reece James have previously suffered break-ins at their homes nearby. Sterling had jewellery and watches stolen whilst he was away with England at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. His family were inside the house at the time and he left the Three Lions squad shortly after.
