Monte Carlo - Gunshots rung out around Monte Carlo as armed robbers raided a Cartier jewellery store, after starting a fire in a nearby tunnel to distract emergency services. At least one robber was wounded by police, a second was also arrested, while another was on the run following the spectacular afternoon heist.
Police have launched a massive manhunt for the third man who was last spotted fleeing nearby the flame engulfed tunnel on Casino square. Hundreds of tourists looked on in horror as a gang started a fire the tunnel well-known for featuring in Monaco's annual grand prix. As emergency services rushed to put it out, at least three gangsters rushed into the Cartier shop on the square where the casino is situated and made off with a haul of high-value goods. Two years ago, in May 2015, the Cartier boutique in Cannes was attacked by robbers, who got away with around £15million worth of goods.(FA)
