PARIS, 18 March 2003 — Thieves stole works of art worth an estimated 250,000 euros ($265,400) from the home of Princess Haifa Al-Faisal in a fashionable Paris suburb at the weekend, police said yesterday.
Security guards keeping watch at the princess’s home in Neuilly-sur-Seine, just northwest of the French capital, noticed on Saturday that several works of art made of glass, usually displayed in the windows of the home, were missing.
Police said that the thieves likely entered the building without breaking and entering, through French windows that were left ajar.
The princess, who was not in France at the time of the theft, is the wife of the Saudi ambassador in Washington, Prince Bandar ibn Sultan.
