In a raid on a luxury jeweler in Paris, unknown perpetrators made millions. The three men drove up to the jeweler on the Place Vendome in central Paris on motorcycles yesterday, the newspaper “Le Parisien” reported today, citing the police.
While one of the perpetrators was on guard, the other two went into the store, one of whom hit the guard on the head with a gun and disabled him. The men then grabbed as many pieces of jewelry as possible and sped off on their motorbikes. Apparently they had the wrong number plate on them.
Around a dozen employees and a few customers were in the store during the robbery. The loot has not yet been precisely quantified, but amounts to several million euros, investigators told the newspaper. In a raid on the same jeweler in September 2021, a group of perpetrators stole jewelry worth around ten million euros. The police have since identified some of those involved.
