Liz Hurley attacked! Increases security after burglars raided her country mansion while having dinner party
English actress Liz Hurley was attacked by burglars who broke into her £6million country mansion.
She has now increased the security after her dinner party got ruined when burglars broke into her house when she had guests.
The actress approached the police after the incident occurred in the early hours of last Sunday morning.
The 52-year-old faced a terrified moment of her life when thieves sneaked in through the grounds of her mansion in Hertfordshire after entering through an upstairs window.
The criminals have not been found yet and the investigation is still on. It was reported that the burglars' ran off with ornaments and jewellery. However, the thieves fled as soon as Liz and her guests raised the alarm.
A source said: ‘Liz was very upset by this but has done the sensible thing and increased security.
‘She got quotes from various security firms afterwards and now has state of the art security to protect her and her family. She has CCTV, sensors and on-site guards. The place is now like Fort Knox. The house is surrounded by its own grounds with entry via locked gates and a long drive.’
The insider added: ‘Police used dogs to work out that the burglars had parked about half a mile away then walked up a footpath to gain access to the house.
‘They don’t think Liz was targeted specifically and think thieves were just looking at large country houses to target. Liz has had a tough time recently, with her nephew being stabbed, and was particularly worried as her son was at home at the time of the break-in.’
It comes after Liz was forced to rush back to the UK after her nephew Miles, 21, was repeatedly stabbed in a vicious attack by a group of men in London.
