Jewelry Worth $25M Found in Paris Sewer

The plastic container was set in cement under a home belonging to one of the suspects. Nineteen rings and three pairs of earrings were hidden in the container.

In December 2008, four gunmen, three of them dressed as women, walked into the Harry Winston store just before closing time. With customers in the store and Christmas shoppers passing right outside its door, the four made off with diamonds and diamond jewelry worth an estimated €85 million ($108 million), one of the biggest loots in history.

It was the second time in a year that the store was robbed. After the 2008 theft, secondary insurer Lloyds of London offered a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to the recovery of jewelry.

The French police have already found some of the stolen items when they arrested nine suspects six months after the robbery.
