Paris can’t believe it: France’s crown jewels targeted in bold 7-min Louvre raid

Paris woke up to a cinematic nightmare as masked thieves stormed the Louvre Museum in a lightning-fast 7-minute raid, escaping with France’s “priceless crown jewels.” Armed with chainsaws, the crew smashed windows and broke in through a service lift to reach the Apollo Gallery. The French Culture Minister confirmed the heist, saying “no injuries were reported.” Authorities have launched a probe into what prosecutors are calling “organized theft and criminal conspiracy.” As the Louvre shuts down “for exceptional reasons,” investigators race to catch the world’s boldest art thieves.
