STORYLINE:
A witness has recounted the moment a group of armed men held up a Chanel jewelry boutique in Paris on Thursday in broad daylight, escaping on two motorcycles.
The shop on rue de la Paix, not far from the Opera house, has been standing in for the Chanel shop under renovation on the posh Place Vendome.
The estimated value of the goods stolen from the store, which specializes in high-end watches and fine jewelry, was not immediately known.
The police prefecture tweeted that members of a special brigade went to the scene after the heist, which occurred close to 3 p.m.
Le Parisien newspaper quoted a supervisor at nearby store, Cyril Ngo, as saying that the operation took about 10 minutes and that a client warned the store which called police.
Passers-by did not notice the weapon or understand what was going on, he said.
Heists of Paris boutiques selling jewelry and watches are not uncommon.
Seven thieves carried out a dramatic heist in September at a Bulgari shop on Place Vendome, stealing millions of euros worth of jewels.
It involved suspects on two motorcycles and in a car, chased through Paris by police. Two suspects were quickly arrested, one shot in the leg by police.
