    Four armed men entered the store on Avenue Montaigne near the Champs-Elysees shortly before its 5:30 p.m. closing time yesterday, prosecutors’ spokeswoman Isabelle
    Montagne said. They took almost all the jewels on display and forced the staff to give them diamonds from storage. No shots were fired, she said.

    Some pre Xmas bonus for the robbers:eek:

    wow they made it away without killing anyone I say kudos to them. They must have gotten lucky or had some inside help.

    I secretly want to be a thief but I always get caught so I stay with internet marketing

    I'm sure the way things are going economically, robberies like this will start to increase. Shows how much the police were paying attention if they had an office right around the corner.

    That's a lot of money!!
    I'm sure that they will get caught because people do eventually reap what they sow.
