Thieves pulled off a daring heist at the Louvre in Paris, France, on Sunday.
Using a lift from a construction site, the thieves smashed a window and stole priceless jewelry from an area of the museum that houses the French Crown jewels, before escaping on motorbikes, the French government said.
Officials say the operation took just minutes and was carried out by professionals.
The museum remained closed for the rest of the day on Sunday as authorities carried out their investigation. The Louvre has faced criticism for security issues and understaffing in recent years.
