One of the perpetrators threatened an employee with a firearm.<\/p>\n<p>The thieves reportedly used the pretext of wanting to sell Rolex watches before forcing the employee to put 11 watches into their bags.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Suddenly they pulled out a gun and said to my father, &#8216;put everything in the bag&#8217;,&#8221; said Gary Azoulay, manager of the Our Watches outlet, after the robbery on Monday, launching The National (5\/5).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They fired shots, just to show my father that it was a real gun,&#8221; he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Azoulay said he was out on an errand and his father was alone in the store when the incident occurred during &#8220;a maximum of two minutes&#8221;. The store is located on Rue de Miromesnil in the eighth arrondissement of Paris.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Elysee Palace is there, but they still came to rob it even though they knew the police were at the end of the road,&#8221; Azoulay said.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, a police source told daily newspaper Le Parisien that one of the two suspected robbers was arrested in the northern Paris suburb of Asnieres-sur-Seine after an accident involving the scooter he was riding and a truck.<\/p>\n<p>A shell casing was found near the scene, but as of Tuesday afternoon another suspect was still at large.<\/p>\n<p>Paris prosecutors have launched an investigation and said the masked robbers entered the store by pretending to be customers before showing guns and shooting into the wall.<\/p>\n<p>The employee was roughly pulled to the store&#8217;s entrance area before the robbers fled with an accomplice waiting on a scooter.<\/p>\n<p>The English, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and French versions are automatically generated by the AI.
