        French police on Thursday were hunting a trio of thieves who made off with a handbag containing 5 million euros 
(US$5.4 million) worth of Chanel jewels in a smash-and-grab on the highway between Paris and Charles de Gaulle 
Airport. A Taiwanese art collector was traveling in a taxi on Wednesday afternoon through a long tunnel     51     for 
robbery attacks on tourists stuck in traffic when the thieves smashed a car window and    52    her handbag. The 
1.3km Landy tunnel is taken by most people arriving at Charles de Gaulle Airport and heading into Paris and is the 
ideal spot for smash-and-grabs. 
    “It is often   53  delinquency. They aren’t afraid of anything, know the area and escape through emergency 
exits,” the source said. A driver distracted and talking on his cellphone, a handbag left on a passenger seat or luxury 
cars carrying tourists with possibly wads of cash on them are all easy      54    .

robbery when a bag she said contained jewels worth 4.5 million euros was stolen from her. Saudi prince Abdul Aziz

       When the police chief in Tacoma, Wash. shot and killed his wife in a parking lot after years of abusing her, the 
shock from that event 10 years ago mobilized national support for a more aggressive response to domestic violence in 
police households. 
    While police officers today are more aware of the problem, the following is also true: In many departments, an 
officer will automatically be fired for a positive marijuana test, but can stay on the job after abusing or battering a 
spouse. 
       In the wake of the Tacoma killing, the International Association of Chiefs of Police strengthened its efforts to 
persuade departments to adopt a set of model rules on domestic violence in their own ranks. Responding to concerns 
that domestic violence had long been treated more len iently than other forms of misconduct, the organization called for 
zero tolerance for abusers, tougher pre-employment screening and a separate set of procedures to ensure rigorous 
investigation of every accusation. 
        But police departments have been slow to adopt the rules. An d while most officials say they treat domestic abuse 
by officers as they would any other form of misconduct, interviews and disciplinary records indicate that, in fact, 
punishment is often light and job loss uncommon.   
    Only a quarter of the 56 largest city and county police departments that responded to a recent survey have a 
distinct policy for domestic violence involving officers. And only one, Nashville, has adopted the entire model policy, 
according to the survey, conducted by The New York Times and the PBS investigative news program “Frontline.”
