Liz Hurley describes 'real horror' after thieves raid car at service station

Liz Hurley has told how thieves broke into her car and stole her hand luggage.

The actress said she was left feeling “pillaged really badly” after being targeted at a motorway service station.

Liz, 54, who has been hunkering down in her £6million country mansion in Hertfordshire, said: “Something really terrible happened last year, it’s a real horror and I was burnt very badly by it.

“I parked my car at one of those big stations, the food court things and went inside. Came back, drove back home – someone had opened my car and taken my hand luggage.”

The star revealed the incident made her channel her Austin Powers alter-ego, Vanessa Kensington, to investigate hi-tech thieves. She told fashion guru Susannah Constantine’s podcast: “Have you become obsessed with people who can open your car?

“It’s a horror, it’s a real horror.

“Unfortunately, people have transmitters and when you come out of your car and you click it shut they can pick up the signal of your transmitter and drive off with them. Or they can open your car and take anything out.

“When we started Googling it there were only three cars that they couldn’t transmit from and they were all made by Land Rover.”

Liz, who is spending lockdown with her mum, Angela, 79, and son Damian, 18, added: “I have an obsession with my hand luggage – which I obviously fly with as hand luggage – but I use every day as my bag.

“It has my laptop, charger, make-up bag and if I’m travelling a few other bits.”
