Robbers Steal Over 1 Million Euros in Paris Jewelry Store Heist

On November 12, 2026, armed robbers stole goods worth more than one million euros from a De Beers jewelry store in Paris. The robbery took place around 11:00 am in the city’s 2nd arrondissement, according to police.

The suspects, who were armed with long guns, entered the store and threatened staff but did not fire any shots. Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident, as confirmed by the Paris police.

Four individuals, wearing balaclavas, reportedly fled the scene on motorbikes. One of the suspects was armed with an assault rifle. They are believed to have escaped towards the motorway.

The police have launched a significant manhunt to find the robbers and have assigned resources from the organized crime unit to investigate the case. The prosecutor’s office is treating this incident as an “armed robbery by an organized gang.”

De Beers, the targeted jewelry store, is a major player in the diamond industry, particularly known for its operations in southern Africa.
