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

During their escape, one of the thieves accidentally dropped the emerald and diamond crown of Empress Eugénie, which was later found damaged near the museum’s entrance. The remaining items, however, disappeared completely. Authorities fear the jewels could be dismantled, their stones recut, or trafficked through underground luxury markets before they can be recovered.
