TOWIE star Mario Falcone's home has been ransacked while he was away on holiday.<\/p>\n
Burglars took a \u00a315,000 wedding ring and a gold Rolex watch during the \u00a370,000 raid in Brentwood, Essex.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Dad-of-three Jordan McKenzie-Pryce, 38, also took designer handbags and a Macbook, as well as \u00a35,000 in cash, Chelmsford Crown Court heard. <\/p>\n
The items have never been returned and Mr Falcone, 34, is now terrified to leave his home, he told the court. <\/p>\n
The raid came just weeks after McKenzie-Pryce ambushed a man who was blasted with a shotgun.<\/p>\n
He was jailed for 12 years, with an extra two on licence for the burglary and firearms offences.<\/p>\n
He must now also pay Mr Falcone \u00a325,000 in compensation.<\/p>\n Mr Falcone, a dad-of-two, went on holiday with his family in September 2022.<\/p>\n He left the house locked with a fully-engaged alarm system, a judge heard.<\/p>\n But just days into the trip he got a call telling him his house had been burgled.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Cops searched McKenzie-Pryce's home and found pictures of the stolen goods on his phone, along with a floor plan of Mr Falcone's home.<\/p>\n In a victim impact statement Mr Falcone said he and his wife now rarely leave the house because they're afraid for their kids.<\/p>\n He added: "The watch and other items have huge sentimental value. That watch I wore on my wedding day and I would have worn that until the time to pass it onto my son on his wedding day.<\/p>\n "My entire life has been affected by this. I questioned at the time posting things on my social media and whether I would be a target. It shouldn't be like this."<\/p>\n Prosecuting, Keith Hadrill said: "He found that items had been taken out of the house, a number of expensive items.<\/p>\n "A gold Rolex, \u00a35,000 in cash, a wedding ring worth \u00a315,000, a total of \u00a369,000.<\/p>\n "He [Mr Falcone] said by reason of CCTV he can determine that the burglary occurred between 12am and 2.30am on September 5, 2022."<\/p>\n He added that voices could be heard in CCTV footage at that time. <\/p>\n Defending McKenzie-Pryce, Lawrence McNulty said he had previously been offered a job in the music industry but had to leave when the company moved to the US.<\/p>\n He said McKenzie-Pryce couldn't follow because of his criminal record, and was forced back into criminality.<\/p>\n In May Mr Falcone, already dad to a son, revealed the birth of a baby girl with wife Becky.<\/p>\n Earlier this year reality TV star Joey Essex revealed he was quitting Britain for Dubai after a break-in at his Essex mansion. <\/p>\n<\/picture>PREM STAR RAID <\/span><\/p>\n
