According to foreign media such as the Daily Mail, on the 19th (local time), a group of four gunmen climbed a ladder car and broke into the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, broke into the exterior window, stole jewelry, and fled on a motorcycle.
The criminals showed the audacity to break into the museum at around 9:30 a.m., 30 minutes after the opening hours of the morning.
In just seven minutes, they stole nine items, including a crown worth 100 million pounds (about 19 billion won), from the 『Apollone Gallery" where French royal jewels were displayed, and the crown was reportedly dropped near the crime scene. The dropped crown was found partially damaged by the crown of Empress Eugenie, the wife of Emperor Napoleon III. The crown is said to be decorated with 1,354 diamonds and 56 emeralds.
Meanwhile, CCTV footage broadcast by French TV media BFM showed one of the thieves posing as a construction worker wearing a fluorescent vest and opening the shelves.
Police told local media that they were chasing four thieves who stole jewelry and collected a piece of fluorescent vests believed to have been worn by the criminal nearby.
