00:00A day after the brazen robbery at the Louvre Museum, police 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, thieves broke into the Galerie d'Apollon
00:19and smashed two display cases and 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 the stolen pieces,
00:37one of them the damaged crown of the Empress Eugénie.
00:41A museum representative on the ground told us that the museum will remain closed to the public all day Monday.
00:49The heist has also drawn strong reactions.
00:52The Justice Minister, Gérald Darmanin, 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 that weakens the museum's security.
01:13A report by France's highest audit institution found that the Denon wing, home to the Mona Lisa,
01:21as well as the targeted gallery, well, 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.
