Armed robbers attacked a Saudi Arabian prince’s convoy in Paris on Sunday night, police said earlier today, taking what the victims told police was around 250,000 euros (US$335,000) in cash as well as some sensitive documents.
The convoy had been heading for Le Bourget airport north of the city. Witnesses told police a group of heavily armed men attacked the last car in the convoy near Porte de la Chapelle at around 2100 (1500 EST) and drove off in it.
