Police hunt clues in heist

The Nice prosecutor's office told CNN on Monday that the value of the stolen jewels was close to $136 million.

The robber, whose face was covered by a hat and a scarf, had a semiautomatic pistol and threatened to shoot the exhibitors and guests, according to Philippe Vique, deputy prosecutor for organized crime in the prosecutor's office.

Security guards were present but unarmed, he said. No one was injured.

'It was definitely a professional heist, I've been saying that from day one,' said Larry Lawton, who himself served time for jewelry thefts but is now an author and motivational speaker.

He suspects the Cannes thief had an 'inside guy' who provided information on where to find the jewels.

The robbery follows two major jewel heists this year during the Cannes Film Festival in May.

A necklace worth $2.6 million was stolen from a hotel party shortly after jewels worth more than $1 million were stolen from a safe in a hotel room.
