Robbers have made off with gems worth 300,000 euros ($370,000) snatched from two Indian diamond traders as they were entering a Paris metro station, a source close to the investigation said Friday.
“The two traders were coming back from a business meeting and were attacked Monday afternoon by two men,” the source said, confirming a report by French magazine Le Point.
“A bag containing several precious stones — but no diamonds — was stolen,” the source added. “Early indications are that it could have been a premeditated attack.”
