The value of jewels stolen in a dramatic theft in the French Riviera resort of Cannes has been raised to about 103m euros ($136m; £89m). The figure was given by a French prosecutor. It would make the Carlton Hotel raid one of the biggest gem heists in Europe this century.
An armed man seized the gems from an exhibition of diamonds by the jeweller Leviev on Sunday morning.
Earlier the stolen gems had been given an estimated worth of 40m euros.
It is the largest in a series of high-profile robberies in Cannes.
