"Paris has launched a huge manhunt after audacious thieves carried out a jaw-dropping daylight heist on the Louvre, swiping nine of the museum's most priceless treasures including a £100million crown, in just seven minutes.

The gang of several 'highly organised criminals' arrived outside the world's most visited museum at around 9.30am local time on Sunday while thousands of tourists enjoyed a day out at the attraction.

Masked and wielding angle grinders, the gang parked up their scooters outside the Apollo Gallery (Galerie d'Apollon), home to jewels belonging to Napoleon Bonaparte, his wife Josephine and a string of subsequent Emperors and Empresses."


They probably have a rich patron who wants these items for their personal collection. You would think the French would have better security but no.

I read that the crown was recovered but broken. SMFH. Such a waste.

The term "manhut" is patriarchal and trans-exclusive. The enlightened people of Paris should know to have called it a Xe-hunt

Pierce Brosnan will have a new episode of Heists on the History Channel.

Makes you wonder, right?

At any rate, they'll never recover those jewels. They'll be cut up and resold on various gray markets, never to be seen again.

Ban battery powered angle grinders!

Jokes aside those grinders are the biggest boon to thieves that there ever was.

I saw a video once (can't find it now) of the mere seconds it took to steal a catalytic converter and be gone.

Where's Inspector Clouseau when you need him?

 

[whitehall]

They dragged in equipment capable of cutting through display cases and nobody noticed? They got away on scooters? Only in France.
