Gang of 3 arrested after allegedly demanding money from Coleen and Wayne Rooney<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"The<\/p>\n

Coleen and Wayne Rooney’s son Kai is 16 months old<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

When Coleen<\/a><\/strong> and Wayne Rooney<\/strong><\/a> lost a camera containing snaps of son Kai<\/strong> at a Black Eyed Peas concert<\/strong> in Manchester’s MEN Arena last May, they hoped it would be handed in.<\/p>\n

But it’s alleged that the finders contacted the couple and demanded a 5-figure sum for its return. <\/p>\n

Now Coleen<\/strong>, 24 – who contacted the police – is ready to give evidence if required after 3 people were arrested. <\/p>\n

‘Wayne<\/strong> and Coleen<\/strong> are extremely upset and angered about this attempt to \u00adblackmail them over the photographs of their baby son,’ says a source.<\/p>\n

‘They are treasured family pictures with huge \u00adsentimental value.<\/p>\n

‘Whoever is responsible \u00adobviously thought because of Wayne<\/strong>‘s wealth it could be an easy pay day.<\/p>\n

‘Coleen<\/strong> co-operated fully with the police and is prepared to take
\n
to the witness box if it sees justice done.’<\/p>\n

A 41-year-old man was arrested<\/strong> in September and a 25-year-old woman and 28-year-old man were detained in December. <\/p>\n

‘We are investigating an allegation<\/strong> of blackmail following an incident reported to us in September last year,’ a police spokesman tells the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

‘Three people are on bail pending further inquiries.’<\/p>\n

The couple’s spokesman, Ian Monk<\/strong>, says: ‘Wayne<\/strong> and Coleen<\/strong> take their son’s privacy very \u00adseriously and they cannot say anything else at this stage.’<\/p>\n
