Two wealthy British women had their holiday turn into a nightmare when a burglar ransacked their room in a luxury Saint-Tropez hotel and stole 11 Birkin bags, jewellery and cash worth 1 million euros (£867,000), according to French media.
The same hotel, which was not named in the report, has been plagued with several break-ins this summer, where moneyed guests have lost thousands of pounds in cash and prized possessions.
The pair were said to arrive at the hotel in the coastal town on the French Riviera at around 5 pm on August 5 before going on a stroll at 8 pm until around midnight, a report quoting a friend of the tourists said.
'When they returned, the room was ransacked, the door to the private terrace broken, the wall safe ripped out,' their friend, Sabrina, said.
'They don't even have their passports anymore. It's a vacation that's turning into a nightmare.'
