We told how Danielle, 42, was at a Halloween party with husband Michael O’Neill and her five children when she watched the raid in real time on a security app on her phone.
“They will be aghast to discover police have dropped the probe, as convictions would have brought peace of mind.
“But they have moved home now — and security at their new place is tougher than ever.”
The professional gang took just 90 seconds to smash through the back door of Danielle’s home in October 2023.
They were then in the house for one minute and 26 seconds as they dashed straight to a bedroom and stole a jewellery box and designer handbags worth £100,000.
West Midlands Police said: “We carried out a number of enquiries but weren’t able to identify a suspect.”
It is feared the burglary gang are from South America and have fled the country.

GERI Halliwell has jumped the final hurdle in a neighbour row – as her plans to build a £30k horse walker are finally approved.

Geri, 53, and Christian, 52, own a horse racing company called OMBI, featuring stables for 14 horses and a full-time trainer.
But plans for the walker, essentially a circular cage that moves horses to improve their fitness, were met with fury by locals, with several objections registered with West Northamptonshire District Council.
Concerns over the height of the building, its visual impact, inadequate screening, and lighting have been raised by neighbours.
However, the council has now approved the application, provided the celebrity pair follow strict conditions.
It said: “The building shall be used for private equestrian and land management uses only and no commercial use, including riding lessons, tuition, livery or competitions shall take place at any time.”
The authority added: “Whilst it is acknowledged that the walker incorporates a steep pitched roof for its size, the general design is functional in form.
“Giving regard to its siting, scale and rural-equestrian character, the design is considered appropriate for the open countryside location and would not harm the character of the area.”
Full details of lighting still need to be approved before it is built, but it is far enough away from neighbours not to cause issues, the council added.
And the couple have proposed to hide the training device with 12 newly-planted trees, which was deemed appropriate by planners.
But one neighbour, who objected to the horse walker plans, fumed the structure would be “extremely prominent” on the skyline.
He said: “Whilst we do not object to the principle of a horse walker… we object to the plans as currently presented.
“The proposed structure would be extremely visible from our property, other village properties, and from a public highway.
“In a rural conservation area this would be unacceptable as it would completely change the character of the area.”
The local also objected to the main property being “away from the main buildings when other infill sites are available”.

Another slammed the proposed lighting set-up and described the suggested screening as “totally inadequate.”
They said: “There is already significant lighting at the property. We would not want to see this area illuminated outside of normal working hours.
“Further lighting would be encroaching into an area which is currently unlit behind the existing barn.”
Writing on behalf of Geri and Christian, a planning agent pointed to the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) codes.
He wrote: “It states that animals must be given freedom to exercise off the tether for a reasonable period at least once a day.
“The installation of the horse walker will ensure that this is possible and that they are exercised properly, regardless of weather conditions and other limiting factors.
“The proposed horse walker will provide the horses with a space to be suitably exercised off the tether.
“Once the new hedgerow matures it will be largely screened from all public and private views onto the farm.”
The scheme is the latest in a number of planning rows between the couple and their neighbours.
Geri and Christian were recently given approval to keep a pergola that had been built without planning permission.
Just last year, they were allowed to build a second pool on the grounds despite fears it would be a “blot on the landscape”.
And three years ago, they were also granted permission for a first floor extension, a replacement barn and a new greenhouse.
Geri’s representatives have been approached for comment.

JACQUELINE Jossa and Dan Osborne’s 13-year relationship has finally come an end and the reason is far less explosive than their scandal-hit time together would suggest.

Having forgiven multiple cheating accusations over the years, there was no other woman involved this time, instead, Jac has decided to put herself first and refuses to put any more effort into a relationship that’s ran its course.
We take a look back at some of the biggest moments they faced during their time together.
GABBYGATE
Dan sent a flirty message to Love Island All Stars’ Gabby AllenCredit: PA
Jac quietly took out a six-month lease on a new property and moved out of the family home.
A source said at the time that Dan “begged for one final chance” and Jac wanted to fight for the marriage for the sake of their kids.
Gabby wanted no part in the drama and previously told us: “I mean me and Dan were just mates, but we weren’t that good mates to like warrant continuing a friendship.”
It was on a sun-soaked holiday in Spain that the suspicion over Dan and Gabby’s connection first arose.
Photos of the pair looking close on a yacht added fuel to the fire, but Dan dismissed the speculation, saying he was simply “speaking and laughing with a friend”.
At the time, Gabby’s ex-boyfriend Marcel Somerville accused her of cheating with Dan during the trip to Marbella, a claim both parties strongly denied.

Around the same time, Jacqueline became the first winner in I’m A Celebrity history to cancel live TV interviews due to the allegations.
Despite previous champions appearing on daytime shows the next day, Jacqueline is said to have refused to go on any and said she wanted to spend time with her children instead.
A source told The Mirror: “She has to film for the ‘coming out’ show which airs later this week, so cancelled all other TV offers like GMB and Lorraine to spend more time with the family.
“Jacqueline and Dan spent time together in the hotel and probably had a lot to talk about.”

Dan denied cheating with another Love Island star in 2019, Alexandra Cane.
Onlookers told The Sun how the dad-of-three made a move on the reality star in the middle of Manchester’s Neighbourhood bar.
One eyewitness said: “Dan was all over Alexandra. At one point he grabbed her and kissed her.”
Another onlooker added: “He was putting his hands all on her – grinding against her and thrusting his hips.
“He’s a married man so it was pretty shocking. She didn’t seem that into it but she laughed it off.
“Everyone was talking about how he was acting. There were loads of women there but he was only interested in Alexandra.
“They left together in a taxi with a couple of friends when the party was over.”
Dan denied he did anything but dance with Alexandra and insisted they had been mates for a while, despite him only following her on Instagram the morning after.
FAILED VOW RENEWAL

She said: “The thought of it cringes me out slightly but we might do something like renew our vows when the time is right.
“We would like all five of us in the photos – we’d do it for the kids.
“It does feel like we have a new relationship though, so it might be quite nice to celebrate that.”
However, they never appeared to follow through with the plan.
MONEY WOE
Dan appeared on Towie for two years until 2015 and then came third on the 2018 series of Celebrity Big Brother for which he was paid £60,000.
But the money didn’t last long and in 2019 his personal business had just £978 left on the books and his firm Storms Entertainment was £7,469 in debt.
Another company he owned called Charlie Entertainments was dissolved in 2017.
It went bust with undisclosed debts after HMRC petitioned the high court to put it into liquidation.
Despite this, Dan’s fortunes turned around and he was able to accumulate enough to secretly buy a £1.3m property close to the family home in 2024.
The Mail reported that Dan made the purchase as “security” amid the deteriorating marriage, and it did nothing to help things with Jac who reportedly felt “betrayed” by the decision.
BURGLARY NIGHTMARE
The couple were left shaken in 2024 when thieves targeted their villa in Marbella during a family holiday.
Jac woke in the night to see two men in balaclavas with torches in the property.
She startled them and they made off with £20,000 of cash and jewellery.
The couple’s daughters, Ella and Mia were in the villa, too, as was Dan’s son, Teddy.

Rio Ferdinand and wife Kate have re-located to Portugal after fleeing their new home in DubaiThe couple re-located to the UAE last yearCredit: InstagramThey made the big move last year with their kids Cree, five, and Shae, two, and Rio’s 14-year-old daughter, Tia, from his first marriageCredit: InstagramIran previously launched a barrage of rockets at nations across the Middle EastCredit: AFP
In the terrifying situation, which is still ongoing, Iran vowed revenge for the US and Israel’s huge blitz on the regime.
Now the celebrity couple and their children Cree, five, and Shae, two, and Rio’s 14-year-old daughter, Tia, from his first marriage, have headed to their European retreat.
Former Manchester United player Rio has uploaded a snap showing him swigging a Super Bock beer in the surroundings of their Portugal home.
In his caption he referred to the weekend’s football scores and wrote: “That feeling when Liverpool + Chelsea drop points in the race for the top 4!
“Happy Saturday People!”
He sat against the white walled terrace of the stunning villa in the Algarve near Quinta do Lago, with bright sunshine and trees in the background.
Liverpool had lost at Brighton 2-1 while Chelsea suffered a 3-0 hammering at Everton.
Kate has not addressed the location change on her social media, with the most recent upload being a clip from her Blended podcast.
Previously, on her show, she had opened up on the family’s actions amid the missile strikes.
As the United Arab Emirate’s top holiday hot spot, Dubai has become a sought after travel destination for celebrities and influencers.
Kate previously told her fans they spent “a very scary night” sleeping in their basement.
“Thank you for all of your messages and sorry for the silence, I haven’t wanted to worry you all I just haven’t been able to find the words. We are safe,” she said on Instagram.
“The government are doing an amazing job of keeping it that way and despite my nerves I feel we are in very safe hands.”
She added: “We are hoping for a calmer evening tonight, last night was very scary. Although Cree and Shae loved it as they couldn’t believe we all got a sleepover in the basement.
“Thank you for all of your prayers, this whole experience is very eye-opening and I am praying for anyone affected. Lots of love to everyone.”
Rio’s sons Lorenz, 19, and Tate, 17, did not move over when they relocated from the UK last year to focus on their football careers.
Speaking on his show Rio Ferdinand Presents, the former Manchester United and England defender said: “Been a different week for me, not going to lie.
“Firstly, I’m in great condition this morning as the whole family did a workout.
“A bit like in Covid, the whole family is doing things we wouldn’t usually be doing together.
“Home-schooling a bit today.
“It’s frightening when you hear missiles, planes and fighter jets – I don’t know what it is – going above us, and you’re hearing big bombs, and what that is we don’t know as we don’t know the details of what they are.
“It’s telling your kids what it is and helping them navigate through this moment, which is important especially as the dad of the house.
“You want to try and remain calm and keep everybody as calm as possible.”
Ferdinand added: “I’ve got to be honest guys, it’s been a bit of a scary situation.”

THE woman charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting up Rihanna’s home called the pop superstar a “witch” and claimed she was going to “die” in a disturbing video before the attack.

Police claim the suspect fired multiple shots using an AR-15-style rifle – with several bullets striking Rihanna’s front gate and an RV parked on the driveway – after she drove to the star’s $14million Los Angeles home on Sunday.
Mom-of-three Rihanna was reportedly at home at the time of the disturbing incident but was not injured.
It is unclear whether anyone else, including her partner, A$AP Rocky, or their young children were in the property at the time.
Ortiz, from Orlando, Florida, remains in custody, and bail has been set at around $10.2million, officials confirmed to The U.S. Sun.
In the months leading up to the crime, Ortiz blasted the star in videos on her YouTube channel,c where she shares daily clips with the title, Praying Woman’s Journal.
“Rihanna, when you die, God is taking me to my future,” she tells viewers in one bone-chilling video from two months ago.
“You want to kill me? Shut the f*** up. Okay, shut the f*** up. Yeah, she’s a witch. She’s a witch. I’m a watchman. She’s a witch. Get that stupid girl out of here, okay,” she continues to ramble incoherently.
Other posts shared on Ortiz’s Facebook mention celebrities, including Rihanna, as she seemingly threatens the pop star.

On February 23, she wrote, “@badgalriri — Are you there? Cause I was waiting for your AIDS 5-head self to say something to me directly instead of sneaking around like you’re talking to me where I’m not at.”
She also shared a photograph of rapper Drake, with the caption, “When Drake found out Rihanna has AIDS #champagnepapi.”
There is no suggestion that her posts are true.
She referenced Rihanna as far back as December, even claiming she was “with @badgalriri” a month later, along with other stars tagged in her disturbing posts.
Ortiz also seemed angry at many female celebrities on her page, branding Kim Kardashian a “stupid b****,” adding, “Your turn hiding b****, stop begging for a look.”
Pictures show her in full glam with different hair styles, and in one, she appears next to several awards, writing, “Posing with my pageant trophies. Miss Teen Illinois Latina Princess 2006.”
She lists herself as living in Florida and is featured in earlier posts with a young girl, thought to be her daughter.
The U.S. Sun obtained filings from December 2025 that show a Florida appeals court upheld a ruling stripping Ortiz of all time-sharing rights with her child in her legal fight with ex, Jed Nikko Valdez Sangalang.
Ortiz had appealed a temporary order issued by a judge in Orange County that revoked her time-sharing entirely and barred her from having any contact with their child.
She filed for divorce in 2015, and the case docket shows it is still ongoing years later.
She was also previously charged after an alleged violent attack on her ex-partner in front of their young child, according to records.
Details about the exact outcome of that case remain limited, but Ortiz has a history of legal issues in Florida, including allegedly violating pretrial release conditions.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Sangalang for comment.
Meanwhile, Rihanna has yet to comment on the shooting incident.
A dispatch call from the Los Angeles West Division was reviewed by The U.S. Sun, and features an operator asking officers to attend to an address on Heather Road after reports of gunfire.
The call crackled over the radio, with the dispatcher relaying that the shots had come from across the street and that no one at the scene had a clear view of the suspect.
Witnesses said the gunfire came from a white Tesla, which was seen speeding away down Coldwater Canyon after “ten shots” were fired at the property’s gate.
For more than 10 minutes, officers scrambled for information as they tried to determine the Tesla’s exact model and license plate while investigators worked to pull nearby surveillance footage.
Authorities later said the suspect, described as having braided hair and wearing a cream blouse, was tracked by helicopter to a shopping center parking lot in Sherman Oaks and arrested around 30 minutes after the initial call.
When officers stopped the car, they allegedly found an assault rifle and seven shell casings inside the vehicle.
