The popular Kardashian detailed her ordeal in the hands of thieves less than two hours after thieves stole more than $10 million in jewellery in October 2016. Her reported police statement was released by the French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche on Sunday, January 15, 2017.
It reads:
“I heard a noise at the door, like, footsteps, and I shouted to ask who was there, but no one answered,” the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star told police, “I called my bodyguard at 2:56 a.m. Then, beyond the sliding doors, I saw two people arrive with the gentleman from reception, and he was tied up.
Both men were hooded, one had a ski mask and he had a cap and a jacket with ‘police’ on it. The second man had the same ‘police’ clothes but did not have any ski mask. … It was the one with the ski mask who stayed with me.”
Recalling one of the burglars, Kardashian reportedly explained, “He had a strong French accent and asked me for my ring [in English]. He looked at what was on the bedside table. It was worth $4 million.” The report said the man repeatedly asked the reality star to hand over her diamond engagement ring.
“He took out a gun and I showed him the ring. He had gloves. He asked me where the jewels and the money were,” she said. Adding, “And at that point, they tied me up and put plastic cables and scotch tape on my hands, and then taped my mouth and my legs.”
The robbers then took the mum-of-two to the bathroom, where they placed her in the bathtub inside her private residence at Hôtel de Pourtalès.
Soon after, “they ran away,” she explained. “During the theft, they had the hotel’s mobile phone that did not stop ringing, and they spoke in French. I got the impression they were saying they had to leave.” According to the report, Kardashian said the men seemed “a bit inexperienced” as she was able to successfully remove the tape from her hands and mouth.
During the robbery, the men stole more than $10 million in jewellery, including diamond bracelets, earrings and a necklace with Kardashian’s son Saint’s name on it. Meanwhile, ten people have been charged in connection with the crime so far and Paris police believe the robbery may have been an inside job.
