A shopping bag from Italian designer Prada and several wrapped gifts were among the items he took.
The Grinch then made a quick getaway through the back door, clutching the stolen gifts while excited family members and children cheered.
Shortly after, Partey smiled for a family picture with his partner Janine and their daughter.
The trio wore cute matching pyjamas for the photograph.
Citing a Bible verse, Partey wrote in the caption: “The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him. Merry Christmas.”
The Grinch character was created by Dr. Seuss, a children’s author and cartoonist, in the 1950s.
This character later inspired a film starring Jim Carrey, where the Grinch attempts to ruin the holiday spirit of the Whoville town.
Partey started dating model Janine around 2022.
Their relationship attracted attention in October 2023 when Janine shared news of her pregnancy on Instagram.

This versatility has drawn praise from SunSport columnist Troy Deeney.
“He is becoming Arsenal’s Mr. Reliable. It doesn’t matter if you put him as a center-back, right-back, or holding midfielder, he adapts seamlessly,” he remarked to BBC Sport.
“He quietly goes about his business and has helped Arsenal secure significant victories, including one against Palace.”
