Inside the London mansion, the masked robber was snapped creeping around the property before he went for the jewels, nearly bumping into the maid as he wandered through the corridor. Footage shows him with a flat cap, black gloves and a dark jumper as he carefully scoops up multiple strings of beads and jewels.

He methodically stuffs the bling into a black bag and despite being caught on camera at the St John's Wood house property on Avenue Road, he hasn't yet been identified. The owner of the stolen goods is hyper-rich Hong Kong influencer Shafira Huang, 35, known for being a cultural ambassador of Bond Street's swanky Halcyon Gallery.

She has offered rewards totalling £1.5million for anyone that can catch the thief who made off with her items and return her belongings. After the £38.5 million house was looted, the family immediately contacted the Metropolitan Police in a state of "big shock.".

Cops believe he is a white man in his late 20s to 30s and the family think it was a pre-meditated, professional, job. Csaba Virag, a spokesperson for Ms Huang's family, was in the Camden house at the time of the theft, December 7 at 5pm, and said the masked intruder "moved like a cat.".
