Masked raiders stole thousands of pounds worth of jewellery and cash from Le Royal Monceau, Paris, where footballer Lionel Messi, wife Antonela and kids live. 


According to The Sun, two masked men were seen on CCTV climbing  down to a sixth-floor balcony recently. They got in via an unlocked balcony door, one floor above Messi’s GBP17,000-a-night (approx  Rs 17.07 lakh) suite. Reportedly, four rooms were hit, weeks after the Paris Saint-Germain star waved at fans from his balcony.


A female victim from Dubai  had left her GBP1,000-a-night (approx Rs 1 lakh) room for the evening. 


The next day she found her GBP3,000 (approx Rs 3lakh) gold necklace was missing, plus GBP500 (approx Rs 50,000) earrings and GBP2,000 (approx Rs 2lakh) 
in cash. 

She said: “The police told us they saw two men with a bag on the roof on CCTV cameras but they could not identify them. They said three other robberies were also 
reported.”
