LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - The heiress to a Ô�Å¡£1 billion fashion company suffered a terrifying ordeal when two burglars raided her luxury home.
Nadja Swarovski, 35, head of the Swarovski Crystal firm and who is nine months pregnant, was ordered to sit in a room while the thieves ransacked the property in Chelsea, west London.
The men entered the penthouse flat shortly after 12pm and threatened Ms Swarovski after she came downstairs.
They demanded jewellery thought to be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds before making off on foot.
Ms Swarovski, who lives with her banker husband Rupert Adams, 36, and their 16-month-old-son, was said to have been very shaken by the experience but not injured.
A police sp
okesman said: "We were called to an address in
Cadogan Square at 12.05pm on Tuesday.
"Two black males in their 30s, one tall and one short, had gained entry to the property while the female occupant was upstairs. The female was threatened but no force was used. A quantity of jewellery was taken and the men made off on foot."
Ms Swarovski and Mr Adams were married in May 2002. The couple have two homes, the one in Cadogan Square and another in Austria.
This latest break-in took place less than a mile from the home of financier John Monckton who was stabbed to death during a raid on his house in November last year. His wife Homeyra was seriously injured. Two black men are on currently trial for his murder and her attempted murder
