*More details surfaced over the weekend about the five suspects who broke into Kim Kardashian’s apartment in Paris last Monday and robbed her at gunpoint.
Paris police have described the men as native French speakers between 40 and 50 years old, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The concierge at the Pourtales building, known as the “No Address Hotel,” told police that the men spoke French “without an accent,” and asked for “the wife of the rapper” and not Kardashian by name.
The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star and wife of Kanye West were held at gunpoint and tied up in the bathroom of her apartment between 2:30 and 3:00 a.m. local time on Oct. 3, before the thieves took off with roughly $11 million in jewelry.
Three of the men acted as lookouts while two entered her apartment to take the jewelry, according to the police.
The concierge has been criticized in the press for leading the gunmen to her room and reportedly remaining calm throughout the ordeal. He released a statement to French gossip magazine Closer, reading: “Dear Kim, When you feel the cold of the gun on your neck, calm is the only way to stay alive, for you and me,” he said, finishing with: “I hope you are getting better.”
Security camera footage viewed last week from nearby stores did not yield any clues or further descriptions of the men as it only showed their reflections and not a direct shot. Footage of a suspicious limo also has yet to reveal any additional information, and it is still believed the men escaped on bikes.
There was no CCTV footage from inside the building and Paris streets are relatively free from police surveillance, with roughly 1,300 cameras citywide, as compared to London’s 75,000.
French news channel BFMTV reported that the incident has been given the highest priority by the Paris police, mobilizing up to 100 officers within a special anti-theft investigation section.
