A new video has emerged that purportedly shows the Louvre thieves in action during the recent daytime heist at the world-famous museum in Paris. The footage, obtained by French broadcaster BFMTV, appears to capture the perpetrators as they executed a high-profile robbery, stealing priceless treasures from the Apollo Gallery. The anonymous bystander’s camera captured the moment the thieves breached the museum, using a basket lift to gain entry and forcing open a window to access the galleries.
Despite the video’s authenticity being unverified by the Associated Press, French authorities have confirmed the high coordination behind the crime, which began shortly after the museum’s opening. The stolen items, including jewels from Napoleon III’s court and pieces from Empress Eugénie’s personal collection, have significant historical value, prompting the Louvre to remain closed as investigators compile a detailed list of the stolen items and review surveillance footage.
The Ministry of Culture has emphasized the inestimable heritage and historical value of the stolen pieces, with the investigation ongoing. Meanwhile, Fox News Digital has reached out to the Louvre Museum and the Ministry of Culture for further comments.
