PARIS: Several suspects were detained by authorities in Paris on Monday morning in connection with the robbery of Kim Kardashian West, which took place back in October.

Months after Kardashian West was held at gunpoint and robbed of more than $10 million in jewellery at her hotel while in Paris for fashion week, at least 16 people have been arrested and are being held for questioning in relation to the crime, reports says.

The ages of the suspects range from 23 to 72 years old, and according to a Paris police official, those arrested have a history of prior robberies and other criminal offenses.

The arrests began around 6 am on Monday in locations around Paris and the south of France. During their investigation, officials discovered various firearms, including an automatic pistol, and 140,000 euros ($147,500) in cash.

The suspects can now be held for up to 96 hours until police have to charge them or release them from custody.

Though Kardashian West had remained silent in the months following the robbery, she was recently seen recalling the situation in a preview for Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
