Good work Clouseau!
That was quick.
Good. I hope France locks this filth up for life. Crimes against important cultural treasures really tick me off. Blowing up the Buddha statues in Afghanistan, stealing these jeweleries and similar travesties are crimes against humanity, as far as I am concerned.
I really hope they get the jewels back safely but I read that an expert thought they’d have been melted down already.
Its almost comical how easy it was to steal stuff thats worth a hundred million bucks.
Definitely, Alain Delon was somehow involved. And maybe Jean Paul Belmondo, too!
Chancing the airport this soon is mad. Go stay in some random middle-of-nowhere farm house until it’s out of the news cycle.
I can’t wait for the YouTube documentary on this
Sounds like something straight out of a movie — just didn’t end as smoothly as the script.
Escaping via commercial plane in the city of the crime? Amateurs
Having CCTVs installed with minimal blindspots is basic shit… one in three rooms? Wtf
they weren’t out the country?? like what the hell stopped them from driving across the border instead of booking a flight?? you tell me after such a heist they would let themselves get caught like absolute morons?
They were preparing to flee to Algeria and Mali.
It’s the first phase of the investigation.
good work
Wow!
Hope they get the stuff back
> Dutch art detective Arthur Brand
Think he goes by “Art” for short?
The inspector caught Lupin again?
Now this is entertainment
I was prepared for a reveal that is was a performance art trick
Why do they keep calling them jewels of inestimable value when their value has been well estimated?
‘They then threatened the guards, who evacuated the premises’
‘one in three rooms in the area of the museum raided had no CCTV came’
