BBC at scene of ‘brazen’ Louvre jewel theft

A manhunt is under way for a gang of thieves who carried out a broad daylight raid on Paris’s Louvre Museum, and stole jewels described as priceless.

The gang appear to have used a mechanical ladder to reach a first-floor window, before breaking into display cases and escaping on motorbikes.

The BBC’s Hugh Schofield is outside the museum where the “extraordinary, daring and brazen” robbery took place.
