Louvre chief blames security camera gaps for jewellery heist

The Louvre's cameras failed to detect burglars in time to prevent their audacious daylight heist of some of France's crown jewels, the museum's director Laurence des Cars said, amid growing anger directed at officials over major security lapses. The thieves broke into the world-famous Paris museum and stole jewels worth an estimated $102 million before escaping on motorbikes. News of the robbery reverberated around the world, and prompted soul-searching in France over what some viewed as a national humiliation. #louvre #heist #paris #jewellery #cctv 👉 Subscribe: http://smarturl.it/reuterssubscribe Keep up with the latest news from around the world: https://www.reuters.com/ Follow Reuters on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Reuters Follow Reuters on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Reuters Follow Reuters on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reuters/?hl=en
