Two men with an AK-47 robbed a Cartier jewellery store near Paris's Champs-Elysees

Two men with an AK-47 robbed a Cartier jewellery store near Paris's Champs-Elysees on Tuesday, leading to a police chase and a brief hostage-taking when they sought refuge in a hair salon.

The suspects agreed to release the hostage and turn themselves in, with the entire drama lasting about two hours. Police recovered a cache of jewels the men had stolen.

One witness inside the Cartier store located in a busy touristic area said the two men, who did not seem "professional", burst in late in the day and forced the three customers inside and about 10 staff to lie down.

They then demanded that the store's showcases be opened, but were interrupted as they gathered jewellery by the sound of police sirens.

The suspects fled with the store manager. A witness told AFP he saw one of them dressed in a trench coat and a beret, with a towel on one hand and holding the hostage with the other.

The country’s top economic decision-making body on Saturday approved the construction of the 230km Lahore-Multan section of the Karachi-Lahore Motorway but withheld clearance of a project for installing smart electricity meters due to a row between two key ministries

The $500 million project to install smart meters in areas supplied electricity by the Lahore and Islamabad power distribution companies was left unapproved after the ministries of planning and water and power were unable to reconcile their differences. The chairman of the Executive Committee of National Economic Council (ECNEC), Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, asked both ministries on Saturday to sit down together and resolve their differences over the technology and specifications of the smart meters which are to be installed, a planning ministry official said.
