Further police enquiries revolve around two men who were snapped following her car on mopeds in the days leading up to the robbery.
One police source told the : "Kim Kardashian was tailed for at least three days before the robbery.
"We know there was one man who pretended to be a photographer who followed the American celebrity on a motorbike to find out her whereabouts.
"Another man pretended to be a plain-clothed detective to try to get a seat next to her at the exclusive Ferdi restaurant on Thursday night.
"But both men were fakes."

Kim’s spokesman said: “She is badly shaken but physically unharmed.”
