Suspects have been arrested over the brazen jewellery heist at the Louvre, just as one of them was about to fly out of France, the Paris prosecutor said on Sunday. On 19 October, four hooded thieves stole eight precious pieces worth an estimated $102 million from the museum’s collection, exposing security lapses at the world’s most-visited museum. Struggling to manage an ever-growing influx of tourists, the Louvre faces unique challenges. “All of these elements together have made it maybe much easier for thieves to break into museums than it would be to break into a jewellery shop,” FRANCE 24’s Philip Turle said in an analysis.
