A new video has emerged showing a possible Louvre thief in action during Sunday's brazen daytime heist at Paris' world-famous museum. The footage, obtained by French broadcaster BFMTV, appears to show someone inside the Apollo Gallery, where priceless treasures were stolen. Thieves used a basket lift to reach the facade and forced open a window to gain entry around 9:30 a.m. They made off with jewels once belonging to Napoleon III's court, including pieces from Empress Eugénie's personal collection. The investigation has begun, and a detailed list of the stolen items is being compiled. French authorities confirmed that the thieves breached through a window using a basket lift and disc cutter, and the Louvre remained closed on Monday as investigators reviewed surveillance footage.
