Security at the luxury Carlton hotel in the French Riviera town of Cannes is under the spotlight in an investigation into a jewel heist at the weekend worth USD 136 million, police said.
"At the very least, the managers were a little careless," said a police source yesterday, adding that the security system in place at the Carlton -- a hotel popular with film stars -- was "a bit out of date".
