YOGYAKARTA The theft took place at the Louvre Museum, Paris France. This action was carried out on Sunday, October 19, 2025 morning, where a gang of robbers managed to steal 8 'priceless crown gems'. So, what is the chronology of the Louvre Museum robbery? Let's see more information in the following article.

Based on information compiled by VOI, the theft occurred at around 09.30 am local time. Based on the narrative of government officials and museum managers, the robbers entered through the Gallery d'Apollon (Apollon Gallery) through the window, shortly after the museum was opened. A gang of thieves entered using the elevator used to lift the furniture into the building.

According to the Associated Press report, the robbers only needed four minutes to steal the invaluable French crown jewel, namely Permata Napoleon.

Sementara kantor berita AFP menyebut aksi pencurian itu dilakukan dalam waktu tujuh menit. Dalam laporannya, ada banyak hartuan Prancis yang dipercuri, termasuk necklace zamrud dan diamond yang diberikan Napoleon kepada istrinya, Janerari Marie Louise, dan karakun ENTangan ke-19 milik Ratempat Eugenie, istri Napoleon III.

Referring to French daily newspaper Le Parisien, the thieves used the construction site as a cover. In addition, they also wore masks and face coverings.

To enter the Museum, the thieves use a vehicle equipped with a mechanical lifting device.

With the help of these tools, they can climb to the balcony of the Apollo Gallery, an exhibition room that houses a collection of French royal jewelry and adapts to the Sea River.

CCTV footage shows the perpetrator entering calmly and destroying a storefront filled with jewelry.

French Culture Minister Rachida Dati said the theft was not colored by violence. In addition, continued Dati, the thieves also look very professional.

He added that the museum's alarm was immediately activated once the security system detected the disturbance.

The Louvre Museum staff also immediately asked the security forces for help and evacuated all visitors to the safe zone.

The perpetrators then took away the collection of historical jewelry belonging to the French imperial family which was stored in two glass boxes in Galerie d'Apollon.

After leaving the building, the thieves tried to burn the vehicle they were using. However, this attempt was thwarted by one of the museum employees who saw the incident at the location.

They then fled using two scooters across the road along the banks of the Seine River. To date, the four robbers are still at large. The forensic team has visited the Louvre and collected evidence, as well as reviewed CCTV footage around the museum.
