David and Victoria Beckham have reportedly 'upped the security in their Cotswolds home' after a burglary earlier this year.
It was reported in March that the couple's £40 million family mansion in Holland Park was targeted by burglars.
And now, it's understood that the duo have applied to the local council to build a security building at their country home.
The Beckhams already have 24/7 security and a gatehouse – which is at the entrance of the home – but, according to reports, the couple want to make a Fort Knox-type security following the break-in.
According to The Sun, the new building will be at the north end of the property.
Mirror have contacted reps for comment.
Earlier this year, it was claimed that the couple did not know that the thief had broken into their home, where they reportedly got in through an upstairs window.
The Beckhams' son Cruz allegedly spotted that someone had broken into their home when he returned home from a night out with his pals, just after midnight.
A source told the publication: "Sadly the Beckhams were the victims of some fairly professional thieves who have been operating in the area.
"Fortunately the criminals only made it as far as one bedroom before they ran off."
They added: "The thieves had broken through a window and darted straight back out of the same one with a small number of items. Luckily none had a huge amount of sentimental value to the family."
Cruz reportedly alerted his footballer dad of the burglary, while David went on to ring 999 as he and Cruz searched their home.
It's claimed Victoria stayed with their daughter Harper, 10.

The famous couple spends a lot of their time holed up at their seven-bedroom West London home.
They previously purchased the property for £31million back in 2013.
The stunning residence contains two dressing rooms, and a catwalk-style runway and also boasts a playroom, gym, spa area, salon-style room and underground car park.
It's believed they splashed a cool £8million on altering the mansion to their liking.
Meanwhile, David and Victoria recently enjoyed a long summer holiday travelling with their youngest children.
The family were often spotted on luxury boats as they soaked up the sun and took in the views around them.
Not only did they visit America and Canada, but the Beckhams enjoyed some time on the Italian and Croatian coast.
