The theft took place on October 17, when England were playing their second test against Pakistan, and Stokes said items including his OBE medal, jewelery and valuables were stolen. His wife and children were at home at the time of the incident, but they escaped uninjured.

“A 32-year-old man from North Yorkshire was arrested overnight on suspicion of burglary,” Durham Constabulary said in a statement on Facebook. he said. “He has since been released on bail while investigations continue.”
