Three months after Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint during Paris Fashion Week, police have arrested 16 suspects in connection to the crime, French media outlets reported Monday morning.

Police conducted the arrests in an “extensive dragnet” Monday morning, according to French broadcaster Europe 1, which first reported 15 arrests.

The AFP news agency and the Associated Press reported that 16 people were arrested over the reality TV star’s robbery. The names of the suspects had not yet been released in news outlets, and few other details were immediately known.

Thieves stole more than $10 million worth of jewelry – including a ring worth an estimated $4.49 million – from Kardashian, tying her up and locking her in a bathroom during the attack. The robbers were described as wearing masks, dressed up as police officers.

The concierge at the luxury apartments where Kardashian was staying let two men in at about 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 3. Handcuffed and held at gunpoint, the concierge led the thieves to Kardashian’s apartment, the Associated Press reported. Authorities were originally looking for five suspects, though only two men forced their way into the apartment.

Kardashian was “badly shaken, but physically unharmed,” after the incident, her spokeswoman said in a statement to CNN.
