Four men rammed their car into an upmarket jewelry store in central Paris on Monday, smashing the shop window and stealing $2.6 million (two million Euros) in jewelry, according to AFP.
The heist near Place Vendome is the latest to hit France after a string of high-profile robberies in Cannes. A police source reported that the men drove a large four-by-four car into the store in the early hours of the morning, grabbing jewelry and luxury watches before setting fire to the vehicle and escaping in another car.
