David and Victoria Beckham have installed a razor wire fence around their Cotswolds mansion to prevent break-ins, according to reports.
The celebrity pair have taken the precaution of adding extra security to their luxury family mansion after two break-in attempts in two months but some local residents are not too happy about the unsightly wire.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “I was surprised to find out it didn’t need planning permission. It makes the place look like Colditz.”

The couple are also said to have acquired a German shepherd guard dog called Logan to help protect their home.
The first attempted break-in occurred last October while the family were away in Australia and weeks later, security guards chased a man away from the property.
Speaking about the attempted break-ins at the time, a source told the Mail on Sunday: “David and Victoria are absolutely devastated by this.
“This has hit them hard. Victoria has been upset for the last couple of days about this, it has been so tough for her.
“It is frightening and dreadful to think someone would be intruding on their personal space. David hates the fact he has to have such high tech and extremely tight security around him.
“He would love to be normal but his number one priority is to protect his wife, children and wider family. He is absolutely furious that he has now has to increase his security even more.”
ED! has reached out to the Beckhams’ reps for comment.
