Jewellery worth almost $1 million was allegedly stolen from a daughter of Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone by a fake Kazakh millionaire while he was looking at her London mansion, which is for sale.
Diamond earrings and a diamond Rolex were missing after a man who called himself Oleg was shown around the £32 million (NZ$62m) Belgravia home of 24-year-old Petra Ecclestone, MailOnline reported.
“Petra was out with her sister, Tamara, a few weeks ago when the viewing took place,” a friend said.
“As soon as this man left, it was discovered that the jewellery, which was on a bedroom nightstand, was missing.”
A spokeswoman for Petra Ecclestone said the theft happened at the London house during a property viewing when the family were not at home. No further comment would be made.
Estate agents had reported that the man calling himself Oleg, who wore sunglasses, had viewed several other multimillion-pound properties in the area in the past few months. – Fairfax NZ News
