French police have confirmed that two safes containing between 1 and 3 million euros worth of watches have been stolen from a storage area in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. The watches belonged to independent watchmaker Richard Mille. According to the French news channel BFMTV, each safe held between 20 and 30 watches. Police were summoned to the scene of the crime on Monday morning and reported no one was injured.
This is the fourth high-profile robbery in Paris in as many months. The Chanel store on Avenue Montaigne was robbed twice in the space of three weeks by armed men in April and in May. Both times, the attackers fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of luxury goods. Back in March, armed robbers targeted Chopard’s flagship boutique on the Place Vendome and were also able to flee with their loot.
