    LONDON, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- Two housekeepers working at a mansion owned by former England soccer captain David Beckham have been arrested on suspicion of theft, reports said Tuesday.

    Newspaper reports said items belonging to the LA Galaxy star and his wife, a former Spice Girl, turned up for sale on Internet auction website eBay.

    Police said they are looking into allegations of theft from a private address in the eastern English country of Hertfordshire, where the Beckhams have a home.

    They confirmed a 56-year-old woman and a 55-year-old man, both from the neighbouring county of Essex, had been arrested and released on bail.
