Several people were arrested and some held for questioning by police in France on Monday in connection with the robbery of reality TV star Kim Kardashian in Paris last October, Europe 1 Radio and other French media reported.

French police said at the time that the 36 year-old was robbed at gunpoint of some 9 million euros (7.75 million pounds) worth of jewellery by masked men who tied her up in her Paris apartment early on Oct. 3.

The Paris prosecutor could not be immediately reached for comment.
