Ritz robbers dropped bag of jewels

French police have recovered all the jewellery stolen by armed robbers from a shop at the famous Ritz Hotel in Paris on Wednesday, sources say.

They say the loot worth some €4.5m (£4m; $5.4m) was in a bag dropped by one member of the five-strong gang during the brazen raid.

Three men have been arrested, police said, while others remain on the run.

The five-star Ritz is in Place Vendôme, in Paris' historical first district on the right bank of the river Seine.
