USPA NEWS - The couple had £300,000 worth of jewelery stolen during the raid - including Ms Michibata's wedding ring. The spokesman said that two men broke into the property whilst they all slept and they stoll a number of items of jewellery.
The Police said that it became a growing problem in the region thieves operating by gassing. According to the Daily Beast, in 2010, "wealthy residents on the French Coast are being terrorized by thieves who gas their victims before taking off with baubles and bags". The conversations were : whose apartment got robbed last night ? Who got sprayed with sleeping gas when they were asleep ?

Futher down, we learn that the incident of burglars breaking into houses and spraying occupants with ether to render them unconscious while they steal cash, jewels or laptops or keys to expensive cars has been on the rise since 2006.
As nowadays, suspicion was on Eastern European gangs, already in 2006, it was the same case blaming more of the break-ins on them. This time with the Formula One driver Jenson BUTTON, according to a source close to him talking to The Sun newspaper: “Police have told Jenson they´re convinced the burglars gassed the house using the air-conditioning units..."

In 2002, Fashion experts Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine were the victims of one of the first notable gas attacks in the area.
