Thieves hit Colette concept store in Paris

Two masked robbers wielding a gun and an axe burst into the Colette boutique in the heart of Paris Saturday, making off with 600,000 euros ($800,000) worth of goods from the trendy concept store, officials said. The pair held up the store on Saint-Honore street, near the Place de Vendome, shortly after it opened at 10:00 am and briefly detained the seven people who were inside as they scooped up merchandise, mostly expensive watches, before fleeing on a scooter. No-one was hurt in the break-in, police sources said, according to AFP.
