A gang of burglars has been SLOTXO jailed over the theft of valuables from the homes of celebrities in France.
The seven men and one woman were accused of targeting high-profile figures in Paris including footballer Thiago Silva in 2018 and 2019.
The thieves stole jewellery and other items worth an estimated €4.2m (£3.6m; $5m).
Police believe the gang climbed buildings and entered through windows to carry out the burglaries.
Investigators later found loot and a list of potential targets during a search of a flat in Paris, leading to the arrests of the thieves in 2019.
On Wednesday the defendants, aged between 27 and 31, were sentenced to prison terms ranging from one to six years.
The highest sentences of six years were given to Abdelazim G and Mohamed S, who was reportedly nicknamed The Cat for his climbing prowess.
He was also convicted of possessing a weapon after a pistol was found in his car.
The other five men were convicted of involvement in burglaries, while the only woman on trial was given an 18-month suspended sentence for concealing stolen goods and possessing a weapon.
A lawyer for Abdelazim G told the Le Figaro newspaper that his client was motivated by the allure of "easy money" but had expressed regret for his actions.
