French police are investigating the scene of a daring robbery at Paris’ Louvre museum, where thieves broke in using a crane and stole jewellery from the same area that houses the French crown jewels.
France’s Culture Minister Rachida Dati said the operation was “very quick”, but in the investigations a piece of jewellery was found at the lower section of the Louvre.
The iconic museum is closed for the day as investigations into the theft continue.
The heist has raised questions over the safety of other priceless pieces at the museum, including the famous Mona Lisa painting.
