The 4-Minute Louvre Heist: New Footage Reveals How Thieves Stole €88M in Jewels Using a Hoist and Chainsaw

French media has released stunning CCTV footage of the "Heist of the Century" at the Louvre Museum. The video shows two suspects using a mechanical lift to scale a balcony and enter the Apollo Gallery. Once inside, they used a chainsaw to break into the display case containing Empress Eugénie’s crown, escaping with historical artifacts valued at €88 million.

The most controversial detail revealed by France Télévisions is that the entire operation lasted less than four minutes, occurring directly under the gaze of security personnel who failed to intervene. This revelation has sparked an international outcry over the museum's security protocols, as French police continue a massive manhunt for the masked thieves.
