"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.

Those damned things are gone. This was done by someone uber rich who wanted them for his collection and it was very well planned. They aren't planning to pawn these items or fence them. They probably have some of the criminals on video casing out the joint first but I doubt they will ever figure out which ones on the videos are them or who they are.

A China billionaire financed it as he knows the falling of Europe will just get them stolen so they can be broken up for the jewels. Hopefully someone will grab the art but will only get hidden in some vault or room where parties held for just the ultra-rich that don't say what they have.
 

"Suspects arrested over brazen jewel theft from Paris’ Louvre museum​


Police have arrested suspects in connection with the theft of priceless jewels from the Louvre museum, just as one attempted to leave the country, the Paris prosecutor’s office said.

Thieves last week targeted the Louvre’s Apollo Gallery in a brazen daylight raid, fleeing with jewelry worth tens of millions in a matter of minutes.

Scores of investigators have been involved in chasing down those suspected of the heist, which Louvre director Laurence des Cars called a “terrible failure.”"




Will the women running the Louvre and the Louvre's security resign? :dunno:
