Norris victim of second robbery on holiday

The McLaren driver had possessions stolen from his villa while holidaying in Marbella.

Lando Norris had his villa robbed while on holiday in Marbella prior to the Austrian Grand Prix weekend. The British driver was staying with friends in the villa and was out for dinner when it took place, with a "mixture" of expensive items stolen. “We were out for dinner and our villa got robbed. A mixture of many things were stolen," he told PA . "Some were expensive and some were not so expensive. It is still an ongoing conversation so I cannot say too much.”

Norris previously a crime target

Social media influencer, Jennie Dimova, was among the friends staying at the villa when the incident unfolded. "Our villa got robbed and everything I have ever owned, my clothes, my shoes, my bags, my jewelry, everything has been f***ing taken. And I'm left with literally nothing," she said on a social media post. Norris has previously been the target of crime after having his £144,000 watch stolen at the Euro 2020 final in Wembley two years ago. The McLaren driver was accosted by two men who stole his watch by putting him in a headlock. A man appeared in court but was later found not guilty of taking part in the robbery.
