Robber steals $53 million worth of jewels in Cannes



An armed robber held up a jewelry exhibition in the French resort city of Cannes on Sunday, stealing jewels worth $53 million (40 million euros)


The robbery -- the third such heist around the city since May -- took place Sunday morning at the Carlton Hotel.

The robber, whose face was covered by a hat and a scarf, threatened to shoot the exhibitors and guests. Security guards were present but unarmed.


The gems were supposed to have been on display until the end of August.
