CANNES, France, July 31 (UPI) -- Another jewel robbery has occurred in the French Riviera resort of Cannes, police said Wednesday.
The latest heist occurred in broad daylight when two men armed with knives robbed the Kronometry jewelry store opposite the site of the famous film festival, Radio France Internationale reported.
The value of the stolen gems was not immediately known.
The same shop was robbed in February when thieves gained access via a neighboring building and took 150 watches with an estimated value of $1.3 million.
On Sunday a man armed with a pistol made off with what may have been the biggest haul in history from the famed Cannes Carlton Hotel.
The armed robber left with jewelry valued at more than $136.6 million from an exhibition put on by the Leviev company.
