That might be the Napoleon wing of the building, so to speak.

Or the Napoleon Hall, whatever you call it.

And so they take all of this stuff.

They're in, they're out, seven minutes.

Let me give you a little...

Oktober 19th, four thieves carried out a bold daylight raid in the museum's Galerie de Apollon, which is the houses of the French crown jewels.

They arrived at 9.30 a.m., they used a truck with a lifting platform, what we know as a cherry picker, parked it outside, raised a few floors into a balcony.

broke a window.

Two perpetrators used power tools to break through the glass window.

They smashed the display cases inside, grabbed eight pieces of historically significant jewelry, tiaras, necklaces, and earrings.

They once belonged to French royalty, Queen Marie Amélie, Queen Hortensen,

One of those stolen items was a crown worn by Empress Eugene that was later recovered outside the museum, but it was damaged.

And the thieves fled on scooter and exited via the scene side of the facade onto the motorway.

Within four minutes, they were in and out.

Within eight minutes, they were on the highway and gone.

They did it.

Well, two of them were arrested recently on the 19th of October.

So like a month ago, they were arrested trying to get out of the country at Charles de Gaulle.

So they didn't get arrested.

And then the third one was arrested.
