Beckhams increase security over 'threats'

David and Victoria Beckham have increased their security after threats were reportedly made against the family.

The pair have employed extra bodyguards after a police warning suggested that kidnappers could target high-profile children, according to the Daily Star.

A source commented that the increased security follows "chilling new warnings" about the safety of their three children - Brooklyn, nine, Romeo, six, and Cruz, three.

David was recently snapped collecting his sons from their LA school with two security vehicles trailing his Rolls Royce.
