An €80-million (Euros) armed robbery at the prestigious Paris jewellery shop, Harry Winston, has been brought off by a daring gang, some of whom were cross-dressed as women.
Quote: "One of Paris's most prestigious jewellery shops has been robbed of at least €80m (euros) ($102m, £70m) worth of jewels, They seemed well informed and knew the names of some of the shop's staff, police say."

On their next robbery ...
will they be wearing the stolen jewellery?
Latest news
On the BBC news at midnight just now they reported that the gang (4 including 2 of 'us' ;) ) cleaned out the whole shop. I think they said 70 million (though not sure if that's £,$ or euro) and is the biggest robbery ever in France. The police have still not recovered the haul from a robbery from the same shop last year.
Look out for known Eastern European mtf TG individuals wearing some very expensive jewellery - there may be a reward.

No correlation
The reports I've seen all seem to indicate that the two were wearing female clothing and wigs to disguise themselves, not because they are crossdressers or "trans" in any way. It is an interesting report of a major crime, but I don't see it as involving "our" community in any way.
