Burglars try to break into Ritchie mansion

Guy Ritchie’s staff disturbed an intruder at his country mansion yesterday morning.

The 41-year-old film director called police after the man was found wandering through his £9m property near Salisbury, Wiltshire, South West England, believed to be looking to steal movie memorabilia.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “This man was found wandering about. It was thought he was after anything he might be able to sell. It was a terrifying experience.”

The 29-year-old intruder – who is thought to be Polish – is now in custody. IT is not known if he will be charged with any offence.

Ritchie – who made his name directing British gangster films ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ and ‘Snatch’ – recently announced plans to launch a music label.

He revealed he will be funding Punchbowl Records in a bid to give The Punchbowl Band – who regularly play at his London pub – a boost.

The filmmaker said: "It's exciting to venture into the music industry.

"It's a tough place but I've seen this band connect with people. They have every chance of being embraced by a wider audience.”
