News - Multi-Million Art Theft at Tycoon’s Home - UK
Property tycoon, Harry Hyams, the man who built London’s Centre Point, has become the story of the day – or rather yesterday, when the news that his Wiltshire home, Ramsbury Manor, had been burgled by ‘raffles-style’ thieves (white-gloved, a little like white collar criminals…). Hyams is a notorious recluse and is said to be worth £320 million. His art collection is famed – it’s about as exclusive at you can get. Sadly, it’s now rumoured that the thieves managed to abscond with several works including those by Picasso and Rembrandt. Needless to say, the burglary is said to be one of the biggest that Britain has known.
