On Wednesday, a Rolls-Royce was loaded on to the back of a trailer and taken away from the Drewitt-Barlow Stadium in Maldon.
Police also searched the couple’s home and The Swan pub in Braintree, owned by Barrie Drewitt-Barlow.
Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, a property developer, made headlines in 1999 when he and his partner at the time, Tony, became known as Britain’s first gay fathers, having become parents through a surrogate mother.
He has since featured in reality TV shows including Rich House, Poor House and Below Deck Sailing Yacht.
In 2025, he and Scott Drewitt-Barlow finalised a deal to take over Maldon & Tiptree and oversaw their promotion to tier seven of the English football pyramid.
Some of the big names they brought in to the club include ex-West Ham and Ipswich striker Freddie Sears and former Manchester City and Ipswich player Kevin Horlock as manager.
