Louvre jewellery heist carried out by petty criminals, Paris prosecutor says

Local criminals, not elite syndicates, behind the Louvre jewelry heist: Four arrested, eight priceless pieces stolen, worth over $100 million. The thieves used a stolen vehicle-mounted lift to break in, causing a rush that led to one piece being dropped and recovered. The other seven treasures remain missing, possibly smuggled out of France. The Louvre and other cultural sites have enhanced security, with some jewels moved to the Bank of France. Authorities urge anyone with information to come forward. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
