Bonnie Blue has splashed out a whopping £427,000 on cars after having her Range Rover SVR stolen outside a Airbnb in London.

The controversial model was staying in her favourite penthouse apartment in Kensington when her vehicle was stolen from the street in front of the £4million property. One of her team were woken up by the sound of the car’s engine and ran down to confront the thieves. But one of the criminals allegedly pulled out a knife, while another proceeded to cut off Bonnie’s steering lock bar with an angle grinder.

The news comes as police launched a Land Rover hunt as a trove of jewellery was stolen in a “terrifying” house raid. It also follows cops telling residents to “play classical music” to scare off thugs blighting their posh London area.

Within seconds of sparks flying everywhere in Kensington, Bonnie’s lock had been cut off, her car’s key bypassed and the thieves sped away, while she watched on helplessly. But in typical Bonnie fashion she turned the negative into a positive and the 25-year-old opted for a hefty bit of retail therapy.

She got in touch with celebrity supercar dealer George Gehdu at GVE London, and started to piece together quite a shopping list of luxury cars.

After buying herself a Liberty Walk Ferrari 458 worth £185,000, she proceeded to get an additional £72,000 worth of customisation done. To fill the Range Rover runaround car, she got herself a newer model at a cost of £70,000 with an extra £10,000 worth of customisation.

And not one to leave her parents out, who have often supported her in her work, Bonnie splashed out £50,000 on her mum to buy her a Mercedes A45, and bought her dad a Mercedes X Class worth £40,000.

Bonnie filmed the whole incident through the window as it happened and instantly phoned the police.

While on the phone cops said the car had triggered multiple ANPR cameras, but did not dispatch a car immediately, her publicist says.

She added the police then did not contact Bonnie for seven days and just said she can have a crime number to claim on her insurance, adding “after no effort was made to catch the thieves”.

“After reviewing the CCTV it was clear the thrives had been watching her for days, observing her movements and when the car would be available,” she said.

She continued: “When they arrived on the scene all three of the thieves instantly set their positions in the road surrounding the car with one standing directly outside where Bonnie was staying to monitor if she came out.

“They didn’t use the usual car key relay method or drill a whole in the back of the car method that everyone has seen online, they somehow pulled the drivers side window clean out of its socket within 20 seconds and then proceeded to steal the car once they gained access.”
