BLURRED Police arrest 16 over Paris robbery of Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian's nightmare in Paris is closer to an end after French police announced that 17 people have been arrested for
her brutal robbery ordeal in October — which took place after Kim had spent a high-profile week

“It didn’t take a lot of time,” insisted public spokesman Luc Poignant. “It took three months, and three months in this kind of investigation is quite short.” Kim was terrorized during the early hours of Oct. 3, with five men breaking into the apartment where she was staying. They reportedly took $9 million worth of jewelry before fleeing.
