Thieves stole priceless jewels from the Louvre using a basket lift and disc cutter, breaching a construction zone window.
On October 19, 2025, thieves stole jewels of "inestimable" historical value from the Louvre Museum in Paris during a 7-minute heist, breaching the Galerie d’Apollon via a window on the Seine-facing facade using a basket lift and disc cutter.
The intruders, entering through a construction zone, used a freight elevator and fled on two-wheelers, with one stolen item—believed to be Empress Eugénie’s crown—found broken outside.
The museum closed immediately, no injuries were reported, and a full investigation is underway.
The incident highlights ongoing concerns over staffing, security, and overcrowding, with the museum’s renovation plans delayed.
