Video has emerged appearing to show the alleged thieves behind the Louvre heist making their escape on a mechanical ladder in broad daylight. Two people can be seen looking around frantically as they slowly descend, minutes after the famed Paris museum was broken into and €88m-worth of France’s crown jewels were stolen. The gang of four thieves have not been caught and on Wednesday, the Louvre’s boss admitted that staff had failed to spot them early enough because there was only one camera pointing on the gallery where the items were displayed. Liza Kaminov and our colleagues from France2 N. Perez and E. Venuto have more details.
