Kim Kardashian's robbers are caught on 'million-to-one' CCTV image: Gang were spotted in nail salon MIRROR as they crept past sleeping guard and escaped on push bikes

The robbers who targeted Kim Kardashian and stole more than £8.5million worth of her jewellery were reportedly caught on CCTV as they crept past a sleeping guard and escaped on push bikes.

It was thought the armed gang avoided a police camera, which was not pointed at the front of her Paris apartment block and that local businesses didn't have any footage either.

However, now it has been revealed that the gang was caught in a 'million-to-one' image after a camera facing a mirror reflected their getaway.

According to The Sun, French police have now seized the footage from the Bel Ange nail salon on the same street as the apartment.

A camera on the salon's mezzanine-level was reportedly facing a large mirror which reflected an image of the gang as they made their getaway.

Meanwhile a second, ground-level camera also caught the armed men fleeing via a back door and into an office block behind the upmarket Hotel de Pourtales.

It comes as officers are still hunting the five people suspected of assaulting Kim in her palatial apartment, which she rents for £25,000 a month.

They wore ski masks to hide their faces as they attacked the 35-year-old reality TV star and mother-of-two who screamed ‘Please don’t kill me! I have children’.

The men tied her hands together, pulled tape across her mouth, and then placed her in a marble bath.

The door of the bathroom was then locked, and two members of the gang helped themselves to a jewellery box worth £5.24 million and a ring worth £3.5 million.

The robbers had also handcuffed and gagged the concierge of the nine-apartment block, which is close to the British Embassy. 

Neighbours of the star 'did not hear a thing' when she was screaming for help while being robbed in Paris and the gangsters did not leave a trace of DNA, it emerged today. 

Kardashian is said to have been screaming frantically both before and after being locked in a bathroom, where she too was bound up with tape across her mouth.

She managed to escape, according to her own testament, and made a phone call to her bodyguard logged at 2.56am on Monday, while also shouting for help from a balcony.

A number of people were staying in the nine flat block in which the 35-year-old reality TV star had a gun pointed to her head before losing £9 million worth of jewels early on Monday morning.

Two days on, police in the French capital said that everyone inside the prestigious Hotel Pourtales at the time 'has now been spoken to, and the neighbours heard nothing at all'.

The source added: 'Forensic enquiries have also been carried out, but as yet there is no useful DNA evidence.'

After their highly organised raid, the five men were seen escaping on ‘velibs’ - hire bicycles which can be rented all over Paris. 

Kardashian, who was in the French capital to attend fashion week shows, returned to the U.S. on Monday.

Paris prosecutors on Tuesday declined to answer whether the robbers had received help from the reality TV star's entourage. 

Kardashian's stylist was also in the residence at the time, and alerted police, but her bodyguard was not present, according to the prosecutor's office.  

Investigators said Kardashian and her stylist Simone Harouche had provided brief statements before returning to the USA within hours of the crime.

The only other confirmed witness is an unnamed porter who is said to have been tied up and gagged and left in the stairwell.  

Detectives admit that the high-profile crime is one of the strangest they have had to deal with in recent years.

They assumed that Kardashian, whose rapper husband Kanye West, would have been surrounded by her own private security guards, and that she would never have kept such valuable jewellery with her while sleeping alone.

Police have also made much of the fact that the attackers focused on 'possessions that had been seen and noticed via social media.'

Four days ago, Kardashian posted a close-up photograph of a huge diamond ring on her left hand captioned with three diamond emojis.

Police also remain baffled as to how the robbers got into the flat, which was protected by an armoured door locked from the inside.

Numerous theories about the gang have been put forward, including that they are 'Pink Panthers' - a notorious organised crime syndicate made up mainly of Eastern European gangsters.

But the Panthers are known for escaping the scene of their crimes in high-end sports cars, rather than pushbikes. It is also thought that the criminals who targeted Ms Kardashian spoke in French.

Shortly after the incident, Kanye West ended his concert at Meadows Festival in Queens, New York on Sunday due to a ‘family emergency’. 

As details emerged of how Kim was tailed in the days preceding the robbery, the star told close friends how she feared she would be raped by her attackers. Pictured: Kim reunited with husband Kanye West in New York on Monday
