THE NEW YORK TIMES: The stolen items include glittering royal tiaras, necklaces and earrings.
In an audacious raid on Sunday, thieves stole eight items of jewelry of what officials described as “incalculable” value from the Louvre Museum in Paris.
The gang targeted the Louvre’s Apollo Gallery, which contains France’s historic collection of crown jewels.
The thieves also tried to steal the crown of Empress Eugénie, wife to Napoleon III, which features eight gold eagles, 1,354 diamonds, 1,136 rose-cut diamonds and 56 emeralds, but they left it behind after guards interrupted the raid.
