It’s fine the professor will break them free

> According to Le Parisien newspaper, the men were originally from the Parisian suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis, and one was preparing to board a flight from Charles de Gaulle Airport.

> Items of inestimable value were taken from the world’s most-visited museum last Sunday, when four thieves wielding power tools broke into the building in broad daylight.

> France’s justice minister has since conceded security protocols „failed“, leaving the country with a „terrible image“.

> The gang reportedly arrived at 09:30 (06:30
GMT), shortly after the museum opened to visitors.
The suspects arrived with a vehicle-mounted mechanical lift to gain access to the Galerie d’Apollon (Gallery of Apollo) via a balcony close to the River Seine.

> Pictures from the scene showed the ladder leading up to a first-floor window.

> Two of the thieves got inside by cutting through the window with power tools.

> They then threatened the guards, who evacuated the premises, and cut through the glass of two display cases containing jewels.

> A preliminary report has revealed that one in three rooms in the area of the museum raided had no CCTV cameras, according to French media.

> French police say the thieves were inside for four minutes and made their escape on two scooters waiting outside at 09:38.

> Security measures have been tightened around France’s cultural institutions, officials said.

That was quick.

I really hope they get the jewels back safely but I read that an expert thought they’d have been melted down already.
