00:00A day after the brazen robbery at the Louvre Museum,
00:03police are still searching for the four-person commando
00:06behind one of the boldest art heists the world has seen in years.
00:12On Sunday morning, using a truck with a lift,
00:16thieves broke into the Galerie d'Apollon and smashed two display cases
00:21and escaped with eight priceless jewels linked to Napoleon.
00:27It all lasted just under seven minutes.
00:31Investigators have since recovered tools, gloves and two of these stolen pieces,
00:36one of them the damaged crown of the Empress Eugénie.
00:41A museum representative on the ground told us that the museum
00:44will remain closed to the public all day Monday.
00:49The heist has also drawn strong reactions.
00:52The Justice Minister, Jérôme D'Almanin, said that it sends a very negative image of France,
00:59leaving the public feeling robbed.
01:03Concerns about security and staffing are nothing new.
01:06In June, Louvre staff workers went on strike to denounce the lack of personnel
01:12that weakens the museum's security.
01:14A report by France's highest audit institution found that the Denon wing,
01:20home to the Mona Lisa, as well as the targeted gallery,
01:23well, one in three rooms has no cameras.
01:28The Louvre, already struggling with overcrowding and leaks,
01:32now faces a new challenge of protecting its treasures.
