AN Ibiza gang of burglars linked to 22 raids at luxury villas – including Nick Grimshaw’s holiday home – has been arrested by Spanish cops.
Detectives admitted today that knockout gas could have been used by the criminals during their break-ins and released chilling footage showing the masked suspects at work.
Three people accused of the burglaries have been operating in the party town since 2019.
The revelation opens up the possibility their targets could have included a number of millionaire famous faces.
Celebrity Googlebox star Nick was targeted by criminals who reportedly used sedative gas after renting a villa in Ibiza for his 40th birthday earlier this month.
His 81-year-old mother Eileen and the DJ’s dancer fiancée Meshach Henry, 27, were also in the property.
Spanish police have not yet officially confirmed the gang arrested is the same behind Grimshaw’s horror raid.
Cops have not named other celebs that could have fallen victims to the gang either.
A spokesman for the Civil Guard confirmed: “The Civil Guard has arrested three people belonging to a gang specialising in committing robberies in luxury properties on the island of Ibiza during the summer.
“They have been linked to at least 22 crimes with the total value of the items stolen exceeding half a million euros.”
Cops said the intruders entered the lavish homes while everyone was sleeping, always dressed in black and hiding their faces.
