Police say three armed robbers raided the Harry Winston store off the Champs-Elysees in Paris last night and made off with Euro 80 M in rings, necklaces, luxury watches, earrings and other gems. Two were dressed as woman and wore wigs.
The three robbers threatened the 15 employees with hand guns, knew some of the employee’s names and knew of concealed hiding places in the store.
Harry Winston is a New York based retailer of high end jewelry. Its founder was known as the “king of diamonds”. He donated the famed Hope Diamond to the Smithsonian back in 1958. The jewelry stores cater to the rich and famous. The company has supplied jewelry for the Oscars.
The same store was robbed in October of last year for a reported loss of about $25M.
