LONDON - A housekeeper who works for former England football captain David Beckham denied any wrongdoing Tuesday after he, his wife and their son were reportedly arrested on suspicion of theft.

Eric and June Emmett, who work at the LA Galaxy star's home in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, north of London, were held last week before being released on bail, the Sun newspaper said.

Their son Gareth was also arrested Monday, according to unnamed sources quoted by the Press Association news wire.

"What is in the papers is fabricated nonsense. Totally fabricated, 99 percent of it is totally untrue," Eric Emmett said.

The parents of Beckham's wife, former pop star Victoria, alerted police after spotting items including Beckham's boots and shirts for sale on Internet auction site eBay, the Sun reported.

Police said: "Three people have been arrested over the theft. A 56-year-old woman and a 55-year-old man from Essex were arrested in Essex on Friday.

"A 25-year-old man from Essex was arrested yesterday evening. He has been bailed to a police station in Hertfordshire in November."

A spokesman for the Beckhams said that since the matter was in the hands of police, he could not comment further.

And an eBay spokeswoman said the firm was working with police to establish which items were involved in the allegations.

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

The Beckhams divide their time between their British home, a 1930s mansion nicknamed Beckingham Palace and worth around eight million pounds (10 million euros, 14 million dollars), and Los Angeles, where his football team is based.
