Security fencing installed at one of the UK's most exclusive estates has been breached on a number of occasions since April, figures show.
A Freedom of Information request highlights that a variety of crimes have taken place at St George's Hill estate in Weybridge, Surrey, including two robberies and one burglary.
Security at the estate is especially high, as big names such as actress Shilpa Shetty and Chelsea footballer Didier Drogba have residences in the area.
Elmbridge councillor Peter Harman said: "They've got their own security on the estate and they have cameras that monitor traffic going in and out, and all the cars are recorded, so it should be easy to trace people."
Among the most prominent incidents that have taken place was when squatters entered the community and moved into an empty property just 200 yards from the members-only tennis club.
The Elmbridge area was named the best place to live in the UK by the Halifax's Quality of Life Survey.
