Police have identified a parking garage in Aubervilliers, a Paris suburb, as the last known location of the jewels stolen from the Louvre in a $102 million heist on October 19. Surveillance footage shows two suspects handling some of the stolen pieces less than an hour after the robbery. Four men have been arrested—including a former YouTube stunt rider known as “Doudou Cross Bitume”—and a fifth suspect, a woman, remains at large. The jewels themselves have not been recovered.
The case highlights significant security vulnerabilities at one of the world’s most famous museums, which has since installed bars on the broken window used in the four-minute break-in. The theft also underscores the growing intersection of social media fame and organized crime, as one suspect leveraged his online persona while being linked to a prior theft. The ongoing investigation continues to track the missing trove of 9 pieces set with 8,763 precious stones.
