£10.4 Million Jewellery Heist in London

An armed burglary occurred on December 7 at a mansion on Avenue Road in Primrose Hill, London, where bespoke jewellery valued at £10.4 million, £150,000 worth of Hermes Crocodile Kelly handbags, and £15,000 in cash were stolen. The suspect, described as a white man in his late 20s to early 30s, gained entry through a second-floor window while the homeowners were away. Among the stolen items were unique pieces such as a 10.73-carat Graff diamond ring and several other high-value jewellery items. The homeowners are offering a £500,000 reward for information leading to the suspect's arrest, along with a 10% reward of the recovered items' value. Detective Constable Paulo Roberts emphasized the emotional significance of the stolen jewellery and urged anyone with information to contact the police or Crimestoppers. The incident highlights the growing concern of high-value burglaries in affluent neighborhoods.
