Armed thieves have stolen millions of dollars of jewelery from the famous hotel rats in Paris, France's capital.
Authorities say five militants armed with axes broke the window of jewelery shops located in the hotel and entered inside.
According to the local media, three people have been arrested while others are rescued.
Not yet worth the total worth of theft stolen, but according to an estimated 45 million worth of jewelery have been exported.
The Luxury Five Starts Hotel is situated in the historic area of Paris, on the banks of the river and the Ministry of Justice also is associated with it.
The shopping place is close to the hotel's intimate entrance, where there are five shops and 95 showcases, which sell jewelery, watches and expensive costumes.
The local newspaper Parasi told police sources that a thief stopped the thieves, but managed to escape two scooters.
"We heard a loud voice and a lot of tricks in the street," a hotel official told the French news agency AFP.
The passengers took refuge in the hotel at the time of theft and they said, "We did not know anything till what happened to us unless we were told that it was stolen."
