Five men who robbed Kim Kardashian in Paris reportedly attempted to fool cops with a decoy escape. A Paris police official reveals to Us Weekly that in order to make themselves look like amateurs, one of the thieves pretended to fall off his bicycle while another purposely dropped a piece of jewelry as they left the reality TV star's apartment on early Monday morning, October 3.
"They wanted us to believe that they were amateurs, but all the real clues point to them being extremely sophisticated professionals," the police official says. "There is no way a gang like this would drop stuff and fall off bicycles - all that was done for any cameras that might be in the area."
"It is far more likely that they played around on bikes for a few minutes after stealing the jewels, and when they still had their masks on, before they all got into a van and disappeared," the source continued.
The piece of jewelry the thieves intentionally left behind was likely the diamond cross pendant which TMZ said was discovered by a pedestrian outside Kim's apartment building. Local cops were reportedly checking the recovered $33,000 pendant from Jacob and Co. for any traces of DNA.
As previously reported, Kim lost about 13 items in the robbery, including a $4 million ring from husband Kanye West. The new Us Weekly report also mentions that the No Address Hotel where the 35-year-old star's apartment unit was located in had no internal closed-circuit television cameras because "the status of celebrity and other multi-millionaire guests who do not want to be filmed under any circumstances."
