Two Arrested in Louvre Jewel Heist: Security Failures Exposed
Two suspects have been arrested in connection with the theft of €88 million worth of jewels from the Louvre Museum. The suspects were apprehended as they were preparing to leave the country. The thieves gained access to the Galerie d’Apollon via a vehicle-mounted mechanical lift and escaped within minutes, highlighting significant security weaknesses, including inadequate CCTV coverage. Following the heist, the Louvre has taken steps to tighten security and transferred some of its most valuable jewels to the Bank of France for safekeeping.
