Who Stole Tamara Ecclestone’s Diamonds?
Tamara Ecclestone and Jay Rutland lived a blessed life of luxury. But during their 2019 Christmas getaway, they received a call that shattered their sense of safety: their London home had been hit by burglars.
Evading a 24-hour security team on one of London’s most secure streets, three men managed to penetrate Tamara’s jewellery room and Jay’s walk-in wardrobe. They gathered more than 400 items of jewellery and watches valued at more than £26m, then they disappeared into the night.
It’s the biggest home burglary in British history. But as the Metropolitan police pieced together the events of 13 December 2019, they realised this was just the tip of the iceberg. Their investigation connected the theft to even more raids of celebrity homes: football manager Frank Lampard and former Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
Racing against the clock to gather crucial CCTV material before it’s erased forever, they uncovered a trail that led them first to Italy, then the Balkans. An international police operation was mobilised to locate the suspects. But could they track down the suspected mastermind known as ‘Daniel Vukovic’? And does he hold the secrets of an even bigger global conspiracy?
With extraordinary access to the Ecclestones, the police investigation and even some of the suspects in the case, this is the first time the full story behind Britain’s biggest burglary series has ever been told.
