[]
Armed robbers have stolen jewelry from a store in the Ritz Paris hotel, possibly worth more than 5 million U-S dollars. A police official said that three suspects were quickly arrested near the upmarket Place Vendome in central Paris, but at least two others got away. There were no injuries. Several high-end Paris jewelry stores have been targets of dramatic robberies in recent years, including Cartier, Harry Winston and Chopard.
