Police hunt two youths ‘who launched PETROL BOMB at Petra Ecclestone's Chelsea mansion

Hunt for two hooded youths 'who launched a PETROL BOMB at Petra Ecclestone's £20m Chelsea mansion before it burst into flames just yards from her £60,000 Range Rover' --- This is the dramatic moment a petrol bomb was lobbed at the £20million mansion of model and socialite Petra Ecclestone. CCTV cameras catch the bottle smashing on the driveway and exploding into flames just a few metres from the 27-year-old's £60,000 Range Rover. Police said those responsible showed a 'complete disregard for anyone's safety' as anyone on the other side of the gates could have been seriously injured. They are hunting two hooded youths seen running past the tall gates of the imperious property in the wealthy enclave of Chelsea, west London. Friends of Mrs Ecclestone, who is married to gold bullion trading art dealer James Stunt, suggested the attack may have been motivated by envy. Speaking at the time, a spokesman said that the attack was 'thought to be the action of a disaffected member of the public who disapproves of the Stunts' lifestyle.' Luckily, Mrs Ecclestone and her three young children were not at home when the attack took place earlier this year. She has spent millions renovating the 14-bedroom grade two listed mansion, which is set in its own grounds since purchasing it for cash in 2012. Officers from Kensington and Chelsea CID are now asking for the public to help them name who is responsible. | Daily Mail Online via IFTTT
