16 People Arrested Over Kim Kardashian Robbery In Paris

French police today swooped on a gang of veteran armed robbers suspected of stealing millions of pounds worth of jewellery from Kim Kardashian in Paris.

Coordinated raids at 6am saw a total of 16 men including a 'major thug' arrested in the city, and also in the south of France.

They are mainly in the age range 50 to 72, and most have long criminal records, said a source close to the case.

All are accused of breaking into the reality TV star's Paris apartment block last October, and tying her up at gunpoint, along with a security guard.
