Billionaire's Knightsbridge Home Hit by Burglars

0:00On March 31st, a billionaire's fancy townhouse in Knightsbridge got hit by burglars twice in just four days last December with thieves snatching, jewelry, cash, luxury bags, and designer clothes worth 1.25 million pounds total. The spot valued at 8.7 million pounds right near Buckingham Palace belongs to Paul Colson, founder of a massive global packaging company. CCTV caught one of the guys, 46-year-old Ali Lamnawar from Chelsea, going in twice on December 5th with four big holdalls to haul out. Valuables like handbags and jewelry worth about 164,000 pounds. Turns out that was just the first hit. Another crew cleaned out even more a few days later. Colson ranks among Ireland's richest with a fortune around $2.8 billion back in 2021. Meanwhile, Lemnuar also rated a second London spot, swiping nearly 50,000 pounds in watches and cash right

1:00while the owner was home, leaving. The guy's shaken, but glad no one got hurt. Cops linked Lamnawar through phone data and video, then found the stolen goods at his place, Prada and Chanel bags, a 29,000 pound ring, Cartier bracelet, the works. He pleaded guilty to both break-ins. Sentencing set for April 30th after they double-checked the exact haul value, but this case shines a light on how even mega-ritz spots aren't. Safe from both thieves these days.
