A cool $25 million in jewels found in Paris sewer

The Guardian:

The items were stolen during a 2008 heist from luxury jeweler Harry Winston's boutique in the capital.

Nineteen rings and three sets of earrings, including one pair valued at £14m, were dug up from a drain at a house in the working-class suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis, according to police. The house belonged to one of the nine people charged over the robbery. The jewels were hidden in a plastic container set in a cement mold inside the sewer.

The robbery netted the thieves, some of whom were dressed as women, bejeweled watches worth about £61m.
