French officials are facing some big questions following the theft of priceless treasures from one of the world’s most famous art museums, the Louvre in Paris. The thieves stole 8 pieces from the remaining collection of French Crown Jewels, and police suspect the high value of gold could be a factor… So, in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll cover the significance of what was stolen, where the investigation is up to, and what’s driving a rise in these types of crimes…

Squiz Recommends:

Reading: This article in The Conversation which explores a couple of theories as to what might happen to the stolen jewels.

Scrolling: As serious as this crime is, the internet has been having a field day… We've found some roundups of memes here and here including a cheeky ad by the German company who made the basket lift, featuring the tagline: “If you’re in a hurry”.

Watching: This footage of the thieves escaping via the basket lift and scooters.
