Breakthrough in Kim Kardashian robbery as 'thieves' faces are caught on CCTV'
IT'S claimed French police have found CCTV footage that shows the faces of the armed crooks who robbed Kim Kardashian on Sunday night.
The men who robbed Kim Kardashian have reportedly been caught on CCTV
Reports suggest that the authorities have been given a lucky break after the profiles of the men were caught in the reflection of a nearby nail salon.
The revelation comes after The Mirror revealed that the security camera inside of the reality star's £8,000-a-week residence failed to capture any of the footage because it was facing the wrong direction.
However, it seems there is hope yet, as the Bel Ange Nail Salon, which is located next door to Hotel Pourtales, has allegedly caught a glimpse of the thieves during their getaway.
The 35-year-old star had £9million worth of jewellery stolen from her Paris apartment
Among Kim's stolen possessions was her £3.5million engagement ring
In what has been described as a "million-to-one" breakthrough, the gang can be seen in the reflection of a mirror as they walk through a small shopping precinct adjacent to Kim's apartment.
The gun-toting thugs then went through an unlocked office door and into a car park where they fled on motorbikes, according to The Sun.
If true, the footage would mark a major breakthrough in the case, which saw the thieves nab £9million worth of jewellery - including Kim's £3.5million engagement ring.
