DOHA (AFP) – Thieves, one of them armed, broke into the Qatari emir’s mansion near the French Mediterranean resort of Cannes, stealing watches and other luxury items, a source close to the case told AFP on Friday.
The emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, was not present when the four people broke into his residence in Mouans-Sartoux, the source said, confirming a report from RTL.
“The people present complied under threat (with the burglars) when they saw the weapon,” the source said.
