€2m gem thieves say sorry for the mess
Thieves who grabbed €2million of diamonds from a Paris dealer left a note to apologise.
They had broken into the diamond dealer’s office near the Pompidou Centre from a neighbouring property. Their message, inspired by Albert Spaggiari’s 1976 raid on Nice branch of Société Générale said ‘No weapons, no violence. Sorry for the inconvenience’.
