NICK Grimshaw was targeted by a masked gang of thieves in Ibiza who ransacked his luxury apartment. The former Radio 1 DJ had rented the villa to celebrate his 40th birthday with his family. It is believed the raid was targeted, following a spate of high level robberies on the White Isle.
Nick was joined by his immediate family including his mum Eileen and his fiancé Mesh Henry . Previous attacks, believed to have been by the same gang, have seen a number of luxury villas targeted by pumping sedative gas into the property before the criminals break in wearing hazmat suits. It’s understood that while shaken, Nick and his friends and family are not hurt.
A source said: “There have been a spate of attacks in luxury villas across Ibiza this summer. “Sadly Nick’s villa was on the target list - simply due it being known for being used by high net worth clients. “The gang would have had no idea who he was.
Sadly it’s a case of the wrong place at the wrong time but it’s scary to say the least. “Nick was obviously upset but thought best to keep things off social media. “At the end of the day it was meant to be a private low key break with his family.
” The Sun understands Nick is now safely back at his home in London. Taking to Instagram last week in a now deleted post, Nick could be seen beaming away as he sunbathed outside his villa. He captioned the snap: “Waking up 40”.
The star lives in north London with Mesh and they recently renovated their home. Fans h.
