In a surprising occurrence, this iconic Parisian museum ceased operations following a daring heist where thieves escape with nine precious pieces of jewelry.
Although details remain scarce, sources suggest three disguised individuals gained entry the museum soon after it opened on Friday.
The suspects allegedly employed a construction lift that was part of ongoing restoration work to access the renowned exhibition hall, situated along the banks of the Seine area.
The lavish gallery contains the surviving pieces of France's crown jewels. To gain entry, the culprits broke glass panels before making their getaway with these stolen items.
The individuals reportedly fled on a scooter. Law enforcement are actively calculating the total value of the stolen goods, while the institution is not open for tourists until further notice.
The event has raised significant issues about safety measures at among the globe's most popular museums.
