First images of Kim Kardashian jewel thieves making their way to her Paris apartment before fleeing

The first images of five suspects said to have robbed Kim Kardashian of jewellery in Paris have today emerged in France.

French media has published footage of the alleged gang leaving and arriving at the reality TV star's VIP apartment on October 3.

The footage was shot on a private camera just around the corner from the  'Hotel de Pourtales' apartment block .

The camera footage, released in an online exclusive by the M6 news channel, starts at 2.19am, and shows three men wearing reflective jackets cycling towards the block, and shortly afterwards two others walk past on foot.

49 minutes then goes by, before members of the gang are seen leaving ,rubbishing  previous claims that they only spent a few minutes in the building.

All have their faces hidden by a combination of hoods and balaclavas, and are thought to be pretending to be plain-clothes policemen
