New Footage Emerges from Louvre Heist: Thieves Smash Cases with Wheel and Fists

New footage has emerged from the dramatic robbery at the Louvre Museum, which took place in October 2025, revealing the actions of the thieves. The footage shows one of the perpetrators smashing the jewelry display cases with a wheel and fists in order to steal them. The thieves were wearing yellow vests and black clothing. Three months after the robbery, all four suspects are in custody, but the jewelry remains missing. Authorities do not know if the jewelry has been hidden in safe deposit boxes abroad, in hideouts within France, or even in the Seine River. The Paris Public Prosecutor, Laure Beccu, stated that the main goal remains the recovery of the jewelry. Investigations are ongoing, and authorities are considering all possibilities, including whether the robbery was commissioned. However, there is no evidence that the jewelry has crossed the border. The case remains open, and authorities are committed to continuing their investigations until the jewelry is found and the motives of the perpetrators are revealed.
