London - British police are questioning three people in connection with the alleged theft of designer items from the home of David and Victoria Beckham which were said to have been spotted in an sale on the eBay auction site. Police said a housekeeper couple who worked for the Beckham's for many years, and their 25-year-old son, had been arrested but freed on bail.

However, housekeeper Eric Emmett on Tuesday rejected as "fabricated nonsense" allegations he or his family should have stolen items from the Beckhams and sold their property on eBay.

Suspicions were raised when memorabilia belonging to the former England national football team captain and his pop star wife appeared on the eBay auction site.

A spokeswoman for eBay said items on the website had a clear paper trail back to the seller, which made it difficult to get away with stolen goods.

"Anyone stupid enough to try to sell anything that is not 100 per cent legitimate makes a big mistake when they try to do it on our site," she said.

According to reports, the former Spice Girl's parents Tony and Jackie Adams spotted some of their daughter's designer clothes on offer to bidders, among them allegedly the footballer's worn boots.

The Adams' then discovered the items were missing from the Beckhams' Rowneybury House mansion in Hertfordshire, north of London.

Beckingham Palace, as the mansion is known, was the venue for the Beckhams' elaborate party for charity ahead of the 2006 World Cup.

The Beckhams, who now mainly live in Los Angeles, flew into Britain last week. David Beckham, 33, is currently with the England team in Belarus for Wednesday's World Cup qualifier in Minsk.
