Paris ¨C Thieves raided Paris¡¯s Louvre museum in broad daylight Sunday, taking just seven minutes to grab some of France¡¯s priceless crown jewels, but dropping a gem-encrusted crown as they fled, officials and sources said.
The spectacular heist, one of several to target French museums in recent months, forced the closure of the Louvre, the world¡¯s most-visited museum and home to the Mona Lisa.
President Emmanuel Macron posted on social media that ¡°everything is being done¡± to catch the perpetrators and recover the stolen treasures.
