The heist took place on a Sunday morning while the museum was open to visitors. The criminals gained entry by using a mechanized lift to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >access upper-floor windows<\/a>, breaking them to seize nine Napoleonic-era jewels including a necklace, brooch, and tiara. They escaped on scooters, and no injuries were reported.French authorities are investigating the incident and compiling a detailed list of the stolen items. The museum has been closed temporarily due to the examination. French Culture Minister Rachida Dati noted the thieves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/i-want-you-to-drag-me-woman-refuses-to-walk-to-jail-cop-gets-the-axe-over-what-happens-next\/\" title=\"\u2018I Want You To Drag Me\u2019Cop Takes Away Woman&#039;s Right to Walk to Jail.\">acted professionally<\/a> without violence or panic. A piece of jewelry was later found near the museum, but its importance is unknown. The Louvre,famous for housing artworks like Leonardo da Vinci&#8217;s Mona Lisa,has experienced notable thefts in the past,with the 1911 Mona lisa theft having boosted the painting&#8217;s global fame.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Thieves steal jewels of &lsquo;inestimable value&rsquo; in seven-minute heist at Louvre<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2375883\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A group of professional thieves stole jewels of &ldquo;inestimable value&rdquo; in a coordinated seven-minute heist at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3443863\/louvre-strike-temporarily-shuts-down\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Louvre<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paris<\/a>, French officials said on Sunday as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">art<\/a> museum shut down for the day.<\/p>\n<p>Police were investigating the robbery and how it took place on Sunday morning.
