A major robbery took place at the Louvre Museum in Paris on Sunday morning. Thieves entered through a window in an area under construction and stole several pieces of jewellery in just seven minutes. They used a basket lift and a disc cutter to break into the Apollo Gallery, which displays France’s Crown Jewels. Police said the gang appeared to have done prior scouting. One stolen jewel, believed to be Empress Eugénie’s crown, was later found broken outside the museum. No injuries were reported. The Louvre was closed for the day as police carried out forensic work.
