According to the public prosecutor's office, masked individuals had parked a truck equipped with a lifting platform next to the Louvre in Paris on Sunday morning. While two of the perpetrators waited on scooters on the street, the other two used the lift to get onto a balcony on the second floor and from there through a window into the museum. The thieves fled with eight precious pieces of jewelry from former queens and empresses - including tiaras, necklaces, earrings and brooches encrusted with precious stones.
