Kerry Katona says kids screamed in terror as thieves stole Range Rover and presents

Kerry Katona has revealed her kids Heidi and DJ were left screaming as they watched thieves drive off in her Range Rover with £300 worth of Christmas presents in the back.

The former Atomic Kitten star, 41, says she had her personalised £110,000 car stolen just before Christmas, while she was out shopping in Oldham with her kids.

At the time, concerned Kerry shared a post on her Instagram as she begged her followers to look out for her car, which had a personalised registration plate.

Writing about the traumatic experience in her new! Magazine column, mum-of-five Kerry said: "I'm traumatised. My car was stolen right in front of me - it was horrible. I watched it being driven off with £300 worth of presents in the back."

She continued: "I tried to run after the car but I had Heidi and DJ with me. They were crying, screaming, it was awful.

"Heidi is still traumatised and I'm so shaken up. I can't believe how everything fell apart like that."

Kerry added she believes she was targeted after police revealed she was watched by the thieves.

"That really scared me," she said.

But things got worse for Kerry, as one week later, her fiance Ryan Mahoney's Mercedes was stolen from their drive.

"So they've stolen Ryan's car off our drive last night!!" she wrote on Instagram. "Mercedes C63S!! They've been to my home. I'm in bits!!

Kerry added: "Please if you know anything please ring the police. Two cars in 11 days! I've been watched and followed.

"I don't feel safe! Absolutely heartbroken! While my babies slept they came to my home!! If anyone knows anything please help!!!"

Then speaking to the camera as she wept, she said: "So we have them on CCTV footage. The car got took last night, we've been on the phone to the police all day, we've all got Covid, two cars gone in 11 days...[sic]

The star, who lives in a £1.9million Cheshire mansion, added that the theft had made her think twice about moving up north.

"It makes me feel really unsafe that they've been to my home. Kind of really regretting moving back up north if I'm honest. Not good," she shared.
