Details are sketchy but French media are reporting that three masked men broke into the Louvre shortly after opening time this morning. They’re said to have used a goods lift to get access to the Apollo Gallery, on the Seine River side of the museum. This ornate room is where what remains of France’s crown jewels are kept. The thieves are said to have been carrying small chainsaws. They made off with nine items of jewellery and they escaped on a motor-scooter. The value of the haul is being evaluated.

Sounds like a smash n grab. Probably the usual suspects.

Call Inspector Clouseau. He will get to the bottom of it.

French police have sealed off access to the Louvre museum, including one major road along the riverbank in front of it.
The focus of the investigation is on the south-east corner of the building, overlooking the River Seine.
A large, extendable ladder is visible, the sort of thing you might see on a fire engine or roofing company’s vehicle.
It is mounted onto a mechanised lift, the type used all around Paris to deliver furniture to apartments on upper floors.
The top of the ladder touches a balcony, which appears to be how the three thieves accessed one of the upper floors.

Reportedly the theft was of jewelry; the State jewels of the now-defunct French monarchy were on display there.

Currently going on at the Louvre now:

Was there a ‘No Kings’ demonstration in Paris, too?

Word is they used a 5 day old baguette to smash the bullet proof glass!

They’ll have to call in a symbology professor

Imagine the backlash if it was reported as three African migrants didn’t pay the entrance fee.

guarantee its a morrcan-french or Algerian-french mafia that pulled this off.
Look at Marseille and what they are doing there, or that high level prisoner that escaped like a year ago and never heard a peep from again.

That's actually smart, it's more about cutting through traffic and using sidewalks where necessary. If you've been in Parisian traffic, it'd make more sense to you.
