Madonna's ''stalker'' arrested at her London home
PTI – 14/03/2011

London, Mar 14 (PTI) - Madonna's London home was broken into by a alleged stalker who was arrested while trying to get away with a number of her personal possessions.
Grzegorz Matlok, 29, was wrestled to the ground by the ''Vogue'' hitmaker's security team at her USD 15 million mansion in the wee hours of Saturday and then handed over to the police, reported Sun online.
Despite having a huge security team and a state of the art CCTV system in place, the intruder, gained entry to the townhouse by smashing a side window while the singer was in the US mourning the death of her grandmother Elsie Mae Fortin.
"Something dreadful could have happened here. The security around the world's most famous pop star should be impregnable," a police source told the newspaper.
Polish-born Matlok was charged with burglary and is now due to appear before magistrates in Westminster today.
At the time of the break-in, Madonna and her four children, Lourdes, 14, Rocco, 10, Mercy, six, and five-year-old David, were in Michigan, US, paying respects to her late 99-year-old grandmother, who helped raise the singer and her five siblings after their mother died of breast cancer when Madonna was just five.
This isn't the first time the pop superstar has been plagued by a stalker.
In September 2010, retired fire-fighter Robert Linhart was charged with criminal mischief, graffiti and being in possession of a homemade 7.5 inch ice pick, after writing messages to Madonna on the pavement outside her apartment in New York City.

'Stalker' Arrested In Madonna's Home
14 March 2011 09:22:37

An alleged ''stalker'' was arrested this weekend after breaking into Madonna's home and being discovered by her security team clutching a number of her possessions.
An alleged "stalker" was arrested this weekend after breaking into Madonna's home.
Grzegorz Matlok, 29, was wrestled to the ground by bodyguards at the 52-year-old star's £10 million 10-bedroom mansion in London's Marylebone area at 5.30am on Saturday morning (12.03.11) after being found clutching several of the 'Material Girl' hitmaker's possessions.
Despite having a huge security team and a state of the art CCTV system in place, the intruder - who the singer's bodyguards told police was a "stalker" - gained entry to the Georgian townhouse by smashing a side window while the singer was in the US mourning the death of her grandmother Elsie Mae Fortin.
A senior police source told The Sun newspaper: "Something dreadful has happened here. The security around the world's most famous pop star should be impregnable."
Polish-born Matlok was charged with burglary last night (13.03.11) and is now due to appear before magistrates in Westminster today (14.03.11).
At the time of the break-in, Madonna - who has four children, Lourdes, 14, Rocco, 10, Mercy, six, and five-year-old David - was in Bay City, Michigan, paying her respects to her late 99-year-old grandmother, who helped raise the singer and her five siblings after their mother died of breast cancer when Madonna was just five.
This isn't the first time the pop superstar has been plagued by a stalker.
In September 2010, retired fire-fighter Robert Linhart was charged with criminal mischief, graffiti and being in possession of a homemade 7.5 inch ice pick, after writing messages to Madonna on the pavement outside her apartment in Upper West Side, New York City.
The messages read 'Meet me please', 'Tell me yes or no', and 'If it's yes, my dream will come true. If it's no, I will go.'
According to court documents, he reportedly told officers: "I can be here. This is police brutality. I have a right to do this. I am not doing anything wrong. I keep running into Madonna. I saw her in 1992 and I'd actually like to meet her in person. I won't stop until I actually meet Madonna.
"I'm going to go right back there and do it again."

AN ALLEGED stalker was found clutching some of Madonna's possessions after breaking into her £10million London mansion.
Grzegorz Matlok, 29, was wrestled to the ground by bodyguards at 5.30am inside the heavily-fortified ten-bed Georgian townhouse.
He is said to have climbed in after smashing a side window while the singer was in the US following the death of her grandmother.
The security team told police who arrested Polish-born Matlok that he had stalked her before.
The huge home in Marylebone has an array of CCTV cameras and a state-of-the-art alarm.
But a senior police source told The Sun: "Something dreadful has happened here. The security around the world's most famous pop star should be impregnable."
Matlok, of no fixed address, was seized on Saturday.
Last night he was charged with burglary and is due to appear before Westminster magistrates today.
Madge, 52, had taken her children - Lourdes, 14, and Mercy, six, and sons Rocco, ten, and David, five - to Bay City, Michigan, to pay their last respects to her gran. Elsie Mae Fortin died last week aged 99.
Elsie helped raise five-year-old Madonna and her five siblings after their mother died of breast cancer.
Though Madonna saw Elsie in her coffin, she is not believed to have joined family at the church funeral service.
Madonna has had several stalkers. In October one was found with an ice pick after scrawling "Meet me" outside her New York apartment.
Ex-Beatle George Harrison survived being stabbed by an intruder in Henley-on-Thames, Oxon, in 1999.
