A new video obtained by French broadcaster BFMTV allegedly shows Louvre Museum thieves in action during a brazen daytime heist on October 19, 2025. The footage, captured by a bystander, shows a person in a yellow jacket beside a glass case in the Apollo Gallery, home to royal jewels. Thieves used a basket lift and disc cutter to breach the museum’s facade around 9:30 a.m., stealing priceless items including jewels from Empress Eugénie’s collection. French authorities suspect a collector may have hired the crew. The Louvre was closed following the robbery. A detailed inventory of stolen items is underway, with officials emphasizing their irreplaceable heritage and historical value.
