LONDON - British newspapers are reporting that two people who worked for soccer star David Beckham and his wife were arrested after some of the couple’s possessions were spotted on an Internet auction site.

The newspapers say some of Beckham’s soccer memorabilia had been placed on eBay. Dresses belonging to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham were also reportedly for sale.
