😱 Imagine strolling through the Louvre in Paris, snapping pics as usual — and you accidentally film the crown jewels… just minutes before they vanished! A sharp-eyed tourist's 2024 video gives us an up-close look at the imperial bling under the museum lights, now shockingly stolen.
The bold heist hit around 9:30 a.m. on October 19, forcing the Louvre to slam its doors shut. Security is in the hot seat 🔍 as art lovers wonder: how did four thieves pull off this royal score?
What went missing? 💎 The lineup is straight out of a period drama: Empress Eugenie's Imperial Crown (dropped and later found outside), her iconic tiara and reliquary brooch, plus a sapphire tiara once owned by Queen Marie-Amelie and Queen Hortense.
French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez confirms the four suspects are still at large. A full-blown manhunt is underway — so if you spotted anything odd in that video, now's the time to speak up! 🙏
