The whole thing lasted around seven minutes, so this thing was planned for a long time. Among the jewels stolen were ones belonging to Empress Eugenie. Her emerald and diamond tiara was later found outside the Louvre, but was reportedly broken. The thiefs specifically targeted the room where the French Crown Jewels were displayed.

This is heartbreaking. The stolen jewels were valuable pieces of history. I hope the French police can catch the thieves and retrieve the stolen items.
