French police are searching for a team of robbers who stole thousands of euros’ worth of jewels and luxury clothing in a nighttime raid at a plush hotel in Paris. Two men wearing balaclavas and gloves entered the Peninsula hotel, just a stone’s throw from the Arc de Triomphe, shortly after midnight and held employees at gunpoint, police sources said. One of the attackers then used an axe to break into four display cases, making off with items worth a total of €350,000 to €400,000. An accomplice then drove them away in a car that was found burning shortly afterwards in the suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine, west of the capital.
