We were robbed, say footballers

Police were last night hunting thieves who escaped with watches, cash, credit cards and mobile phones from the changing room at Coventry City's training ground.

Detectives said personal items belonging to 10 first team players were taken from the Sky Blue Lodge at Ryton-on-Dunsmore.

A police spokesman said the "walk-in theft" happened between 11.30 and 11.40am today as the squad were training.

The thieves entered through an insecure rear door and stole property with an estimated value of at least pounds 10,000.
