Sir Paul McCartney's London Home Targeted for Break In
Days before taking the stage for a triumphant homecoming concert in his native Liverpool, Sir Paul McCartney fell prey to burglars.
The BBC reports that thieves targeted the rock legend’s home in the North London neighborhood of St. John’s Wood. Though they declined to identify the precise address or identity of the victim, Scotland Yard confirmed to PEOPLE that police were called to a home on McCartney’s street “shortly after 18.20hrs on Friday, Dec. 7, following a report of a break in. Officers attended and identified signs of forced entry to the premises.”
