Neighbours told of seeing his front gate damaged following the burglary. Crime scene investigators were seen taking photos of Gary’s mansion in the days after the incident.
A neighbour, 76, said of the incident: “The police have been round to ask me about what happened, but I wasn’t aware of anything. I noticed the gates were flapping open. It’s a rather secluded place. It’s a warning to us all.”
A police spokeswoman said: “We received reports of a burglary in between 5.50pm on 7 April and 9am on 8 April. Officers are investigating the incident.” Barlow had bought his country mansion for £2.3 million in 2007.
