Surrey Police Investigate £30,000 Loss of Video Equipment at Chelsea Training Ground

Investigators are assessing whether the high-tech camera gear was stolen or simply misplaced during staff holidays.

Overview

  • In early August Chelsea alerted Surrey Police after uncovering the disappearance of video recording equipment from its Cobham facility.
  • The club has declined to specify when or how it discovered the gear was missing, citing internal security protocols.
  • Police are examining both theft and accidental misplacement as explanations for the equipment’s absence.
  • The missing cameras form a key part of Chelsea’s performance-analysis setup used to track players’ tactical and physical development.
  • If confirmed as a crime, the incident would add to a series of security breaches in Surrey that previously targeted players’ homes and led to Emiliano Krosi’s conviction.
