Alex Curran – ‘Leave Now’

An armed gang threatened to kidnap England football star Steven Gerrard’s two children after terrorising his wife with a knife at their luxury home.

Former model, Alex Curran, 27, confronted the thugs after they smashed into her house demanding “Where’s the f****** safe?” and “Where’s the f****** jewellery?” But after being told there was no safe and that jewellery wasn’t kept in the house, one of the raiders told another: “Get the blade out the car.”

He then told former Mirror columnist Alex: “If you don’t tell us where the safe is,

It all began when a smash was heard at about 9.30pm.

“Alexandra left her bedroom and met one masked man at the top of the stairs.

Alex told the men to “leave now” before they raced up the stairs demanding she show them where the safe and jewellery were kept.

And after the gang’s terrifying threat to take her two children, she was forced to tell them the safe was in a downstairs cupboard.

The raiders “dragged” Alex to look with them – and forced her to hand over the silver Rolex watch she was wearing.

“The men attempted to take the safe but they could not move it very far because it was too heavy. So they began to ransack the room.”

Liverpool crown court heard a Miss Johnston tried to call the police but was caught before she got through.

But after telling the gang she had made contact they demanded to access the home’s CCTV system – and fled through the patio doors after Alex told them she didn’t know how it worked.
