Louvre Heist Crew Grabs Royal Jewels in Minutes, Flees on Motorbikes

Once inside, two of the robbers used portable electric cutting tools to slice through the glass of the display cases. They targeted two specific vitrines in the Galerie d’Apollon, which contained jewels belonging to French royalty from the nineteenth century. The operation was executed with precision and calm. The thieves avoided unnecessary damage, did not harm any staff, and appeared to know exactly what they were looking for.
