Description

Thieves wielding power tools robbed the Louvre on Sunday, taking some of France's priceless crown jewels in a brazen, seven-minute heist carried out in broad daylight. Authorities recovered a 19th-century gem-encrusted crown — damaged — near the museum, but the culprits were still at large and the target of a manhunt. Details and analysis by Arthur Brand, art crime detective in Amsterdan, Netherlands and Shirli Sitbon, FRANCE 24 journalist. #Louvre #museum #burglary 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
