In a brazen burglary, a thief stole jewellery worth £10.4 million from a luxury home in Camden, Primrose Hill, London, just weeks before Christmas. The homeowners were away during the incident.

The theft occurred between 5pm and 5.30pm on Saturday, December 7, when the suspect broke in through a second-floor window. The haul included:

• £150,000 worth of Hermes Crocodile Kelly handbags
• £15,000 in cash
• A 10.73-carat diamond ring by Graff, among other bespoke jewels

The suspect is described as a white male in his late 20s to early 30s, of medium build. He was wearing a dark hoodie, cargo pants, and a grey baseball cap, and he concealed his face during the break-in.

The stolen items included several unique pieces:

• Graff: 10.73-carat diamond ring
• De Beers: Two butterfly diamond rings
• Hermes: A 3.03-carat ring, aquamarine ring and 'Niloticud Lumiere' necklace
• Van Cleef & Arpels: Multiple rings, necklaces, and a bracelet collection
• Chrome Hearts: Gold and emerald bracelet, gold and sapphire bracelet
• Chopard: Diamond earrings
• Other: Pink sapphire earrings shaped like butterflies from Katherine Wang

Detective Constable Paulo Roberts, who is leading the investigation, stated: "This is a brazen offence where the suspect has violated the sanctity of the victims’ home while armed with an unknown weapon. The jewellery stolen is not only highly valuable but also sentimental and unique, making it easily identifiable."
