PARIS (Reuters) - Police in France arrested 16 people on Monday over a robbery in which reality TV star Kim Kardashian was held at gunpoint in a Paris apartment by gangsters who made off on bicycles with jewellery worth 9 million euros ($9.5 million). Many of those arrested in coordinated police swoops in several different parts of France were known underworld figures aged over 50 and at least three were women, a police official said. One was in the city of Rouen further north and another was in Grasse, in the hills behind the Riviera coast. Kardashian, who is married to U.S rap star Kanye West, was badly shaken but physically unharmed, her publicist said at the time.
