**London, January 1, 2025** – Metropolitan Police are investigating a daring burglary at a luxury mansion near Regent’s Park, where over $13.2 million worth of jewelry, designer handbags, and cash was stolen. The incident occurred on December 7th while the homeowners, an Instagram influencer and her developer husband, were away. However, employees were present, and a housekeeper narrowly avoided a confrontation with the armed intruder, according to security footage.
Detective Constable Paulo Roberts described the crime as a “brazen offense,” noting the suspect gained entry through a second-floor window. Among the stolen items were a 10.73-carat diamond ring, diamond earrings, a gold, diamond, and sapphire clip, and $189,000 worth of handbags.
The homeowners have offered a substantial reward of $628,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect, plus an additional 10% of the value of any recovered items. Police are currently reviewing surveillance footage, which reportedly shows the suspect walking down a corridor moments before a maid emerged from an elevator. The investigation is ongoing.
