The victims of a £10m jewellery raid from a London mansion have offered rewards totalling £1.5m to help catch the thief and recover their stolen items.
The items of jewellery, as well as £150,000 of designer handbags and £5,000 in cash were stolen from the house on exclusive Avenue Road, near Primrose Hill, on 7 December.
Some of the jewellery is reported to belong to Shafira Huang, who is said to be a social media influencer.
As well as a £500,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the thief, the owners are offering 10% of the value of any recovered jewellery for information that leads to its retrieval – which could total as much as £1.5m, the Met Police confirmed.

Among the items taken, totalling £10.4m, were distinctive pieces such as two De Beers butterfly diamond rings, pink sapphire earrings shaped like butterflies from Katherine Wang, and a gold, diamond and sapphire Van Cleef necklace.
Many of the missing items are unique in their design, and therefore easily identifiable, the Met Police said.
The Met Police believes the house was targeted between 17:00 and 17:30 GMT by a man who climbed in through a second-floor window.
The suspect is described as white, aged in his late 20s to 30s, and is said to have worn a dark hoodie, cargo pants and grey baseball cap and had kept his face covered.
Avenue Road, where the raid took place, links the Swiss Cottage and Regent’s Park areas and has some of the most expensive properties in London.
