A man has been arrested following a burglary at England cricket captain Ben Stokes’s home, police have said.
Stokes, who was in Pakistan for the recent Test series, said his wife and two children were at the property in Castle Eden, County Durham, during the break-in on 17 October, when his OBE and other valuables were taken.
Durham Police said a 32-year-old man from North Yorkshire was arrested overnight on suspicion of burglary.
He has been released on bail while the investigation continues, the force added.
His wife and children were in the house during the incident but were unharmed.
Stokes previously released photos of some stolen items, in the hope they could be recognised and help identify the criminals. He had said that some of the stolen items held significant emotional value for him and his family.
