The couple, who were staying in a rented holiday villa in the south of France with friends, are believed to have been gassed as they slept by burglars.
Local police are reported to believe that several experience criminals used an anaesthetic gas which they pumped into the luxury villa, knocking the residents out so they could access the property in Saint Tropez.
It’s been reported that two thieves are thought to have pumped the gas in through the air conditioning vent before they stole over £300,000 worth of possessions.
Items stolen from the couple and their guests, include Jessica’s five-carat engagement ring.
Jenson, who drives for McLaren is worth over £71 million is believed to have been in bed, while three other friends slept in various rooms in the luxury villa.
A spokesperson for Jenson said: “Jenson, Jessica and friends were on holiday in a rented villa.
“Two men broke into the property whilst they all slept and stole a number of items of jewellery including, most upsettingly, Jessica’s engagement ring.
“The police have indicated that this has become a growing problem in the region with perpetrators going so far as to gas their proposed victims through the air conditioning units before breaking in.
“Whilst unharmed, everyone involved is unsurprisingly shaken by the events.”
A source close to the 35-year-old racing driver told The Sun: “Police have told Jenson they’re convinced the burglars gassed the house using the air conditioning units.
