Robbers steal jewels worth 10-million euros from a Bulgari store in Paris. Jewellery stores in Paris have suffered a spate of armed robberies in recent months
French police stand in front of the Bulgari jewellery store following a robbery at Place Vendome in Paris on Sept. 7.Armed robbers struck a Bulgari store on the opulent Place Vendome in Paris and snatched jewellery worth 10 million euros on Tuesday, police in the French capital said.
The three fled in a car while four accomplices took flight on scooters. Forced to abandon their vehicle, the trio fled on foot before two were arrested by the chasing police.A representative of Bulgari, which is owned by Bernard Arnault’s LVMH, could not comment immediately. “It’s not the first time Place Vendome is targeted,” an officer at the scene who identified herself as Noura B. told reporters. “ these weren’t pistols they were armed with. Using large guns, taking that kind of risk … is something that happens rarely.”
One of the detained suspects was shot in the leg before being apprehended. The second was hunted down in a car park a short distance away.The Bulgari store recently underwent extensive renovations, in which it was expanded to have an opening on Place Vendome, and outfitted with marble columns evoking its Rome origins.
