'Grandpa robbers' held Kim Kardashian at gunpoint - but didn't know who she was

In a shocking turn of events, Kim Kardashian, a well-known American reality TV star, became the victim of a daring robbery in Paris, France. The incident occurred in October 2016 when a group of older men, dubbed the 'grandpa robbers' by the media, broke into her luxury apartment. They managed to steal an astonishing amount of jewelry valued at around ten million dollars, including a four million dollar engagement ring given to her by her then-husband, rapper Kanye West. The robbery was not just a simple crime; it was a series of blunders that would ultimately lead to the downfall of the robbers. On the night of the robbery, Kim was in her hotel room at the Hotel de Pourtalès, feeling exhausted after attending numerous events during Paris Fashion Week. As she lay in bed, she heard footsteps approaching her room. Initially, she thought it was her sister Kourtney or her stylist Stephanie, but when they did not respond to her calls, panic set in. The robbers, armed and disguised as police officers, burst into her room, handcuffed the night receptionist, and forced him to lead them to Kim. In a terrifying moment, they tied her up with zip ties and duct tape, leaving her in the bathroom while they ransacked her belongings. After the robbers fled, Kim managed to free herself and call for help, but the trauma of the experience left her shaken. The aftermath of the robbery was filled with confusion and mistakes on both sides. The robbers, led by Yunice Abbas, believed they could pull off the heist without being caught. However, they underestimated the advancements in police technology and the extensive surveillance in Paris. Their disguises as police officers did not protect them, as the city was filled with CCTV cameras that captured their every move. Additionally, they left behind DNA evidence that would eventually lead to their arrest. The police had been monitoring them for weeks, and their capture was only a matter of time. As the trial approaches, Kim is expected to testify, and the world will be watching closely to see how justice is served in this high-profile case. The robbery not only impacted Kim's life but also raised questions about celebrity security and the lengths to which people will go for fame and fortune.
