Masked Jewel thieves put
gun to Kim Kardashian’s head and tied her up in the Paris bathroom. The
police and her publicist said that the thieves left her tied up in the bathroom
of her luxury residence in Paris and stole millions of dollars’ worth of jewelry
in the early hours of Monday. “Kardashian, wife of rapper Kanye West, later
left France aboard a private jet from Le Bourget airport after speaking to
investigators. “Five attackers, wearing ski masks and clothes with police
markings, struck inside the exclusive apartment block where Kardashian was
staying while attending Paris Fashion Week.
“Two of the men entered Kardashian’s apartment
after threatening the night guard with a hand gun and stole a box with
$5.6-$6.7 million worth of jewels and a ring worth about 4 million
Euros.’’ According her publicist, Ina Treciokas, “ Kardashian was
discovered badly shaken but physically unharmed. As news of the event spread,
West abruptly ended a performance in New York less than an hour into his
set. The Paris apartment block is a discreet building behind the city’s
Madeleine church, with several secret entrances, often frequented by movie and
music stars who pay up to 15,000 euros a night. The source said that the
attackers fled on bicycles and Police found the night guard in the staircase,
his hand and feet bound. Kardashian was in Paris with her mother, Kris
Jenner and her sisters, Kendall Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian, to attend the
fashion week but the rest of the family stayed in a hotel. The robbery set
social media alight, with many users expressing disbelief at the latest
headline-grabbing event in the life of a TV star whose life is continually
documented on screen and the internet. Paris had seen several armed
robberies on high-end jewelry stores in recent months. The armed robbery could
add to worries about safety in Paris, hit by a series of attacks by Islamist
militants last year. Tourist numbers to what is traditionally the most
visited city in the world, fell 6.4 percent in the first half of 2016 as many
Asians and Americans stayed away.
