A MILLIONAIRE influencer has been revealed as the victim of a £10.4million jewellery heist. A lone suspect broke into the family home in Primrose Hill, North London, through a second-floor window to carry out one of Britain's highest-value burglaries.
He ransacked the large house while the owners were away and stole bespoke diamond jewellery worth £10.4 million. It has now been revealed, Shafira Huang, an art collector and cultural ambassador of the Halcyon Gallery on Bond Street, was one of the victims.
The influencer often showcased luxury items, lavish trips and flaunted her wealth on social media - where she has amassed more than 13,000 followers, as reported by the Mail Online. Her account has previously shown off some of the items which were stolen earlier this month.
The hooded Raffles-style thief also took crocodile skin Hermes handbags valued at £150,000 and £15,000 in cash. Last night Shafira Huang and her family offered two rewards. They put up £500,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.
The family also offered a reward of 10 per cent of any of the stolen items recovered – potentially worth more than £1 million. Photographs were released of stolen diamond bracelets, a ring and whacky handbag in the shape of a face with an arm as a strap.
Details of the burglary were released by police for the first time yesterday more than three weeks after the break-in and after a fruitless search for the suspect by local cops. The crook broke into the house – close to the Israeli Ambassador’s London residence in Avenue Road - between 5 and 5.30pm on December 7.
