On New Year's Day 2017, Roth's Knight Bachelor and insignia medal were stolen from his home in Primrose Hill. The burglar also stole a family heirloom, bank cards, car keys and jewellery. A man was arrested but later acquitted at trial due to lack of evidence. The items, including the original insignia medal, have never been recovered.[9]
