Jenson Button 'gassed' in holiday robbery

Jenson Button’s summer break has taken a cruel turn according to various British news sources.

It has been reported that Jenson Button and his wife Jessica were gassed while staying in a luxury villa in the South of France, with robbers getting away with over £300,000 worth of jewellery and possessions including Jessica’s £250,000 engagement ring.

The article reports that anaesthetic gas was pumped through the air conditioning system, with both out cold during the raid on the St Tropez mansion. They were on holiday with friends, who were also out cold.

A spokesman told the Sun, “Jenson, Jessica and friends were on holiday in a rented villa.

“Two men broke into the property whilst they all slept and stole a number of items of jewellery including, most upsettingly, Jessica’s engagement ring.

“The police have indicated that this has become a growing problem in the region with perpetrators going so far as to gas their proposed victims through the air conditioning units before breaking in.

“Whilst unharmed, everyone involved is unsurprisingly shaken by the events.”

Formula One is in the middle of the summer break with many of the drivers and team members on holiday. The most notable being Lewis Hamilton in Barbados, with Marcus Ericsson spending a week in Croatia with friends.
