# French police have launched a manhunt for a gang of thieves who stole priceless jewellery from the Apollo Room at the Louvre Museum in Paris. According to reports, the gang appears to have used a mechanical ladder to gain access to a first-floor window before smashing through display cases and escaping on scooters. Interior minister Laurent Nuñez says it took the thieves seven minutes to make off with the jewels, which have a real heritage value. He has expressed confidence in finding the perpetrators and recovering all the stolen jewels.
