Gems 'worth £50m' stolen from heiress Tamara Ecclestone's home

Formula 1 heiress Tamara Ecclestone has had a reported £50m worth of jewellery stolen from her home just hours after going on a Christmas holiday.

The daughter of Bernie Ecclestone has been left "shaken" after the raid at her home in one of the most upmarket areas of London, next to Hyde Park.

According to The Sun thieves are believed to have broken in through the garden before breaking into safes hidden in the bedroom she shares with her husband Jay Rutland.

The paper reported they fled with items including precious rings, earrings, and a £80,000 Cartier bangle given to her as a wedding present.

A spokesman for Ecclestone, who has a five-year-old daughter called Sophia, said: "I can sadly confirm there has been a home invasion. Internal security are cooperating with police in this matter.

"Tamara and family are well but obviously angry and shaken by the incident.

"If anyone has information that could help in investigations then please call the police on 101 quoting reference 8786/13DEC19."

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Police were called to a residential property in Palace Green, W8, at 11.11pm on Friday, December 13, to reports of a burglary.

"Officers attended. It was reported that an amount of high-value jewellery had been stolen.

"There have been no arrests. Inquiries continue."
