16 People Arrested Over Kardashian-West Paris Robbery

Police have arrested up to 16 people in connection with Kim Kardashian West's Paris Fashion Week robbery, which saw the reality star 'held at gunpoint' as over £8.5 million worth of jewellery was taken from her apartment.

On October 3, 2016, French police reported that the 36-year-old was robbed at gunpoint by at least 5 masked men disguised as policemen, who tied her up in her Paris apartment in the early hours of the morning.

Over £8.5m worth of jewellery, including a £4m ring gifted to Kim by her husband Kanye West, was taken.

Today's reports by Europe 1 Radio and RTL Radio say that 15 people have now been arrested over the robbery, thanks to DNA traces left behind.

RTL reports that the perpetrators left the scene on foot and on bicycles, while a Paris police source told Reuters in October that five attackers, wearing ski masks and clothes with police markings, struck around 3am.

Following the attack, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star took a break from social media, reportedly in a bid for privacy, but made her return to Instagram and Snapchat last week, sharing a number of home videos of her children North and Saint West, and a selfie with her mum Kris Jenner.
