‘Priceless’ jewels stolen from France’s Louvre Museum in four-minute heist
Thieves wielding power tools have struck at the famed Louvre Museum in Paris, stealing priceless jewels in a brazen heist that took just four minutes, according to the government.The thieves struck at about 9:30am (07:30 GMT) when the museum had already opened its doors to the public and entered the Galerie d’Apollon building, which is home to the French crown jewels, the Ministry of the Interior said in a statement on Sunday.
“The investigation has begun, and a detailed list of the stolen items is being compiled. Beyond their market value, these items have priceless heritage and historical value,” the statement said, adding that no injuries were reported, either among the public or among Louvre staff or law enforcement officers.
Culture Minister Rachida Dati said the daring heist was over in four minutes, and that one of the stolen jewellery pieces was found near the museum.
Al Jazeera’s Fintan Monaghan reports.
Anthony Amore is a museum security specialist who's spent 20 years investigating art thefts.
He says the bigger the potential value, the more daring the heist.
