Two housekeepers employed by David and Victoria Beckham were taken into custody Tuesday in Hertfordshire, England, for allegedly looting the famous couple's mansion of souvenirs and then selling them on eBay.
Per U.K. reports, the purported thieves, 55-year-old Eric Emmett and his 56-year-old wife, June, have been working at the $22 million "Beckhingham Palace" northeast of London for more a decade.
The staffers supposed swiped soccer jerseys and boots belonging to Becks, as well as designer dresses worn the erstwhile Posh Spice. The memorabilia was then put up for sale on the auction site, raking in thousands of dollars.
The Beckhams were apparently alerted to the pilfering by Victoria's parents, Tony and Jackie Adams, who came across the eBay lots by a seller called "Posh and Becks," who claimed to be a relative of a staffer at the sports idol's soccer academy.
The Emmetts have since posted bail and are now under investigation, but Eric has denied the allegations.
"What is in the papers is fabricated nonsense. Totally fabricated, 99 percent of it is totally untrue," he told The Guardian newspaper.
The couple are due back at the police station on Nov. 22.
No immediate comment from the Beckhams.
