A group of thieves have struck the Bulgari store on the Place Vendome in Paris, making off with about 10m (8.6m) in jewellery. They then led police on a high-speed chase during which two of the suspects were captured, sources have told AFP.

Three individuals, wearing sharp suits and armed with guns, robbed the recently revamped boutique on the Place Vendome in central Paris, where the Ritz hotel is located, shortly before midday on Tuesday, police said.
