Qatari women in Paris victim of a motorway hold-up


High-profile robberies are becoming increasingly common in Paris. Among those robbed were an American reality TV celebrity, Kim Kardashian, a Bollywood actress, Mallika Sherawat, the CEO of a French furniture firm, and a Korean art collector. And now, two Qatari ladies in their 60s are traveling in their Bentley, accompanied by their own chauffeur.





The crooks used tear gas to coerce the ladies and the driver out of the vehicle. Private jets normally land at Le Bourget Airport, thus they were targeted on the highway near the airport there. It seems to have been a well-planned heist.

What is the moral of this story? When in Paris, it's best not to flaunt your wealth. Just make sure you leave your Bentley and diamonds at home .
