Unnerving security footage showing Kim Kardashian’s robbers making away with her millions in jewellery has surfaced.
In the CCTV tape, obtained by French news outlet M6, five masked criminals, who bound, gagged and robbed the reality star at gunpoint in her Paris hotel, are seen making their way to the property at around 2:29am on October 3.
According to the time stamp in the clip, it would appear that the gang, three on push pikes and two on foot, made their escape approximately 49 minutes later.
As they fled, the last member to make off could be seen with a bag over his handlebars – believed to contain the 35-year-old’s $11 million in stolen jewels.
While the footage has been deemed a key component to the ongoing investigation, the quality, or rather lack thereof, is said to be insufficient police to further any leads.
Last week, it was reported that the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star’s diamond cross had been found discarded in a neighbouring street to the attack, but according to a Paris official, the accessory was not dropped by accident, but rather placed as part of the elaborate getaway.
According to Us Weekly, the thieves arranged a sophisticated “double bluff” ruse wherein one of the five men fell off his push-bike while another pretended to drop the necklace in their escape.
The footage shows one of masked men carrying what officials believe to be the stolen loot.
“They wanted us to believe that they were amateurs, but all the real clues point to them being extremely sophisticated professionals,” the Paris police official told the publication.
“There is no way a gang like this would drop stuff and fall off bicycles — all that was done for any cameras that might be in the area.”
“It is far more likely that they played around on bikes for a few minutes after stealing the jewels, and when they still had their masks on, before they all got into a van and disappeared.”
The gang allegedly chose to discard the necklace as it cashed in at “low value compared to the other pieces in the haul.”
The star was spotted wearing the crucifix days before the attack.
Since the incident, which occurred just over two weeks ago, Kim has removed herself from the spotlight.
A source recently told Us Weekly that she is having “difficulty sleeping and has anxiety when she leaves the house.
“She’s never experienced anything like this before. This shattered her world.”
Meanwhile, the mother-of-two’s sisters have since returned to social media and public appearances, implementing a big boost in security measures.
Kim’s engagement ring, given to her by Kanye West, is the most expensive of the haul.
Earlier this week, eldest Kardashian Kourtney appeared on TODAY Extra with an update on her sister’s well-being after the attack.
“[Kim’s] not doing great,” she admitted.
“I think we’re all really still shaken up and I just — you know, I think she has a big supportive family and I know that all the traumatic things that we’ve been through, we get through them together as a family.” Adding: “And that’s what family’s all about.”

Kim has never been one to shy away from the cameras, but it seems that she no longer has interest in the flashing lights.
Kim’s husband Kanye West has also made a return to the limelight as he continues his Saint Pablo tour.
During his performance in Seattle on Wednesday evening, Kanye let rip at his friend and co-collaborator Jay Z for not visiting his family after the robbery.
“How you feelin? You wanna know how I’m feelin? Come by the house,” the rapper fumed, before claiming his daughter North and son Saint had never had a playdate with Blue Ivy Carter.
“I can’t take this s*** bro. Our kids have never even played together,” Kanye raged.
Yeezy dug the boot in one final time when he told the crowd, “There will never be a Watch The Throne 2,” in reference to their hugely popular 2011 album.
Kanye slammed Jay Z for not visiting his family after the robbery.
