Thieves call time on Orlando Blooms vintage watch collection
July 16th, 2009
Burglars made off with jewellery worth £300,000 after breaking into British actor Orlando Bloom’s Hollywood Hills home.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean star was reportedly devastated after discovering that intruders had stolen part of his prized vintage wristwatch collection.
According to reports, the actor kept a number of 40-year-old timepieces at the luxury mansion, which was targeted on Wednesday night.
Police say thieves climbed in through a window and stole the goods, which included at least two of his beloved watches.
The scene has been combed for fingerprints, but so far police have no suspects.
Bloom, 32, who dates Victoria’s Secret beauty Miranda Kerr, was in New York at the time of the break-in.
According to reports, law enforcement sources said the break-in does not look like “a typical burglary”, but would not elaborate further.
Bloom is not the only Tinseltown star to fall victim to thieves this year.
In April, Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere returned from a trip to Australia to find £9,000 of jewellery had been taken from her Los Angeles home.
