During a shocking event, this prestigious art institution was forced to close after an audacious heist where burglars escape with 9 valuable jewelry items.
Although information is limited, authorities believe three masked suspects entered the institution just after it opened on Friday.
The suspects allegedly utilized a construction hoist that was part of current restoration work to access the famous exhibition hall, situated along the Seine River area.
The lavish gallery contains the surviving pieces of France's crown jewels. In order to enter, the burglars shattered windows before escaping with the taken items.
The suspects allegedly fled using a scooter. Authorities are now evaluating the total value of the stolen goods, while the museum stays not open for tourists indefinitely.
The event has raised major questions about safety measures within one of the globe's most popular museums.
