The Louvre Museum in Paris reopened on Wednesday, three days after thieves stole jewellery worth €88 million in a daring daylight robbery. Four masked men used power tools to break into the Apollo Gallery, threatened guards, and escaped on scooters within eight minutes. The stolen items included a diamond necklace and a tiara once worn by Empress Eugenie. President Emmanuel Macron called the theft an “attack on France’s heritage” and ordered tighter security at all museums. Police are still searching for the gang, believed to be part of a larger criminal network. (PC: BBC)
