Richard Hammond and his wife Mindy were 'gassed and burgled while they slept at their French holiday villa', TMZ has learned.
Former Top Gear host Richard Hammond and his wife Mindy were gassed before being burgled as they slept in their Saint Tropez villa.
Sunday Express columnist Mindy Hammond told the outlet Sunday that she, Richard and a large group of friends staying with them had been burglarized recently while staying at a villa in Saint Tropez - after she believes they were all knocked out with anesthetic gas.
She says the terrifying experience went down over a weekend, in which 15 guests - herself, Richard and their teenage daughter included - woke up one morning to find that everyone's wallet and purses had been ransacked of cash, not to mention their kid's watch.
Hammond, Mindy, and 15 other guests were targeted by raiders who used anesthetic gas to knock them out before rifling through rooms for cash and jewellery.
Mindy told the Express: 'That just makes my blood run cold. I could have easily walked in and it could have been unpleasant.'
The raiders were caught on camera entering neighbouring villas, and were arrested days later after the raid last month.
Burglars made off with their 15-year-old daughter Willow's watch, as well as cash from the handbags of guests who had been at a 1920s-themed cocktail party.
Other Riviera villas in the area have also experienced gas raids in recent months.
