Masked thieves carried out a major robbery at the Louvre on Sunday, entering the Apollo Gallery and stealing priceless jewellery. Three or four robbers used a cherry picker to reach the building, broke windows with a chainsaw, and completed the raid within seven minutes. The individuals had apparently scouted the museum beforehand and fled on motorbikes after taking pieces described as of inestimable heritage and historical value. Authorities have opened an investigation and are compiling a detailed list of the stolen items. The theft targeted items whose cultural and heritage significance far exceed their market value.
