Jewelry and watch retailer Bulgari was robbed in broad daylight last weekend. The affected store is located on Place Vendôme in Paris, as reported by several news agencies such as AFP.
The thieves stole jewelry worth millions of euros. The exact amount of the damage is not yet known. The perpetrators fled on stolen motorcycles. According to AFP, there are still no suspects in this case.
At the time of the robbery, which occurred around 1:45 p.m., there were ten employees and a few customers in the store. Two armed robbers hit the guard on the head and stole a large amount of jewelry. This is not the first time that the Bulgari store has been the victim of a theft. Also in 2021 the shop of the LVMH subsidiary was robbed. At that time, jewelry worth almost 10 million euros was stolen. Three people were then arrested.
