The supermodel was asleep in her home in Maida Vale, London, when the raid happened at 4am yesterday (20.05.10).
Raiders took a Banksy painting worth £80,000 from the house, where her boyfriend Jamie Hince and mother Linda were also sleeping, as well as two other artworks.
A spokesperson said: "They got in by climbing over the back fence but fled after disturbing someone who woke up. There is a possibility that they had inside knowledge of the house's layout."
A Metropolitan Police representative said: "Camden Police are investigating a burglary at Greville Road, from approximately 4.20am on Thursday May 20. A 24-year-old man has been arrested in connection with it and inquiries are ongoing."
The gang fled when someone in the house - believed to be Jamie or Linda - disturbed the raid.
The robbery happened soon after Kate had launched her 11th range of clothes for Topshop, where she attended a party with celebrities including Nicola Roberts, Alexandra Burke and Anna Wintour.
