Smash and Grab - The Louvre Heist

In a bold daylight raid on Sunday, October 19, 2025, thieves breached the Louvre Museum in Paris, stealing priceless French crown jewels from the Galerie d’Apollon. This episode details the audacious heist where intruders, disguised with construction gear, used a basket lift platform to break a window on the Seine-facing façade. The entire operation—smashing display cases and loading up necklaces, crowns, and tiaras—took only four to seven minutes before the thieves fled on motorbikes.
