What happened to Tamara Ecclestone's diamonds?

Available for over a year

Tamara Ecclestone and Jay Rutland live a life of luxury. But during their 2019 Christmas getaway, they receive a call that shatters their sense of safety: their London home has been hit by burglars. Evading a 24-hour security team on one of London’s most secure streets, three men have managed to penetrate Tamara’s jewellery room and Jay’s walk-in wardrobe. They’ve gathered more than 400 items of jewellery and watches valued at more than £26m. And they’ve disappeared into the night. It’s the biggest home burglary in British history. But as the Metropolitan police piece together the events of 13th December 2019, they realise this isn't an isolated hit. Their investigation connects the theft to more raids on 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 uncover a trail that leads them across Europe. An international police operation is mobilised to locate the suspects. But will they be able to track down the suspected mastermind known as ‘Daniel Vukovic’? And does he hold the secrets to an even bigger global conspiracy? For 5 Minutes On, BBC London's Thomas Mackintosh gains extraordinary access to the Ecclestones - and the police investigation. This is the first time the story behind Britain’s biggest burglary series has ever been told. Image Credit: Jeff Spicer via Getty Images
