What was supposed to be a visit to the optometrist for Mr. Van Damme turned into a bit of a crime story, as reported by TMZ. The chain of events went as follows: a “grey haired man in a suit” nabbed an estimated $2.4 to $3.5 million in jewels from the “high end jewelry store” Chaumet, and made his getaway on an electric scooter. The robbery was conducted at knifepoint, and thankfully no one was harmed, leaving our culprit to escape. As a cherry on top of this scenario, the thief was able to escape under the cover of celebrity eye care, as Jean-Claude Van Damme was leaving his appointment, just as this criminal was on the move.
