Almost €2million worth of jewellery has been stolen from a store close to the Champs-Elysee in Paris.

A man allegedly arrived at the store on a stand-up scooter, and brandished a weapon inside the store during its opening hours before fleeing again on the vehicle, according to the Le Parisien newspaper.
