Two suspects reportedly had swords, rope, a body bag plus a detailed map and aerial photos of Stone's home. They were plotting to kidnap her. Stone is reportedly worth $14 million according to The Sun (UK).
In a statement Wednesday, Stone thanked people for their well wishes for her safety.
The two men were arrested Monday near her rural home in East Devon, England. Police apprehended the pair, aged 33 and 30, after neighbors noticed them driving slowly around the area in a red Fiat Punto, the Sun reports.
"I'd like to thank everyone for their concern but I'm absolutely fine and getting on with life as normal while the police continue with their inquiries," the singer said in a statement Wednesday.
Detective inspector Steve Parker said in a statement: "The men had information and items that lead us to suspect that they may have intended to commit a criminal offense."
