$66 million in jewelry stolen from F1 heiress Tamara Ecclestone
- 4 years ago
LONDON — Some Ocean's Eleven-esque robbers reportedly jacked around $66 million in jewelry from F1 heiress Tamara Ecclestone.
Reuters reports that a spokesman said the daughter of ex Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone was left "shaken and angry" after the Pink Panther prowlers evaded both the 24-hour security teams that patrol the street known as "Billionaire Row" and Tamara's own internal crack squad security.
The Sun reports that Ecclestone had just left her 57-room mansion with her hubbie and 5-year-old daughter to go on Christmas holiday when three men got in by climbing over the back fence and going through the garden.
They then carried out a 50-minute Thomas Crown Affair, clearing out every single piece of jewelry from hidden bedroom safes.
According to the Sun, rings, earrings and a Cartier bangle worth $105,000 were all taken in the heist.
The Italian Job was then interrupted by one of Tamara's security guards.
The thieves then Fast & Furious-ed it out of there and were long gone by the time cops showed up with some dogs.
Police say no arrests have been made yet, but that it was on the hunt for the three suspects.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Tamara at this difficult time as one can only imagine the pain and anguish she must feel over all her bling bling that went bye bye.
Naturally a GoFundMe campaign has been started to help Tamara get back on her feet.
