Scotland Yard has launched a manhunt for a jewel thief, thought to have led the highest value burglary in English criminal history, across Europe.

Alfredo Lindley, 40, has been accused of leading a series of burglaries in 2019 in which he got away with £26million in jewellery, watches and cash.

Formula 1 heiress Tamara Ecclestone, ex-Chelsea and England footballer Frank Lampard and the late former owner of Leicester City Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha were all targets of the alleged high-flying robber.

According to Italian authorities, Lindley may also have robbed Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira in 2009, the Evening Standard reported.

The jewel thief is thought to use 19 aliases, including Daniel Vukovic, Ljubomir Radosavljevic and Ljubomir Romanov, and it is thought he may now be in Belgrade, Serbia.

In December 2019, over 13 days, he is thought to have led a string of three high-profile break-ins, including Mr Lampard's £12-million property, late-billionaire Mr Srivaddhanaprabha's home and Ms Ecclestone's £70-million, 55-room mansion near Kensington Palace where they got £25 million of the total £26-million pot.
