00:00In the heart of Paris, specifically inside the historic Louvre Museum, something unimaginable
00:10unfolded. Priceless royal artifacts, necklaces, crowns and jewels once worn by French kings and
00:16queens, vanished in broad daylight in an operation that lasted just seven minutes.
00:22Four skilled thieves using a small crane to reach the windows of the Apollo Gallery smashed
00:30the glass, stormed the hall and seized eight royal treasures with astonishing precision
00:36before fleeing on motorbikes, leaving no trace behind. Among the stolen items were an imperial
00:43crown set with 1,354 diamonds and 56 emeralds. But luck played its part. The crown slipped
00:52from the thieves' hands during their escape and was later recovered by security guards
00:56outside the museum. Paris' mayor noted that the losses could amount to tens of millions
01:02of euros as authorities continue to investigate one of the most daring and sophisticated art
01:07heists in recent memory.
