Two Qatari sisters robbed of jewellery worth £4.5MILLION on Paris motorway just weeks after Kim Kardashian heist
The two women and their driver were pepper-sprayed after being tailed by the robbers as they left airport in their luxury Bentley car
TWO Qatari sisters have been robbed of jewellery worth £4.5MILLION in a daring Paris heist.
The terrifying attack comes just a month after Kim Kardashian was robbed of jewels worth nearly £9million during an armed raid on her flat in the French capital.
Two armed robbers are believed to have forced a luxury chauffeur-driven Bentley motor to stop in a lay-by on the A1 after the two women landed at the capital's Le Bourget airport.
They then attacked the pair - aged in their 60s - and their driver with pepper spray, stealing items from the car's boot.
Items stolen are believed to have included jewellery, clothes and luggage.
