Maura Higgins 'shaken' after terrifying raid by three masked men at Essex home
Maura Higgins has made the decision to up her security measures after a terrifying raid at her home in Essex.
The former Love Island star, 32, was left 'shaken' after three masked men ripped down one of the gates at her apartment complex and attempted to steal a number of vehicles from the carpark, it has been reported.
Police were called to Maura's apartment complex in Essex - where Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan also live - in the early hours of Wednesday morning,
A gang broke open the large metal gate by shaking it, and attempted to break into a number of cars.
"Maura was shaken up. Neighbours caught it all on CCTV and it was chilling to see three masked men ram through the gates and start trying to break into cars," a source revealed.

By coincidence, Maura happened to be enjoying a meal at the same restaurant as Molly-Mae as the pals were accidentally seated near one another.
Molly-Mae's boyfriend, Tommy Fury, had treated her to a luxurious getaway in her favourite London hotel as a sweet birthday surprise, not knowing that her best friend Maura would also be dining at the same eatery.
Sharing some insight into the happy coincidence on Instagram, Molly-Mae shared a cute snap with Maura who was seated right behind her in the restaurant.
