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

New documentary footage from the Louvre Museum heist, which took place on October 19, 2025, has emerged, revealing the violence with which the perpetrators smashed the display cases with a wheel and fists to steal jewelry. Three months after the robbery, four individuals are in custody, but the loot remains missing. Authorities have not reached a conclusion as to where the jewelry is hidden, considering all possibilities, from safe deposit boxes abroad to hideouts within France or even the Seine River. The investigation continues to determine if the robbery was commissioned, but there is no clear evidence in that direction.
