Just months after a headline-making jewellery heist at the Louvre put museum security in France under scrutiny, another museum has fallen victim to a daring burglary. This time, thieves targeted the Lalique Museum in Wingen-sur-Moder, where around 20 pieces of jewellery were stolen in the early hours of Sunday morning. Investigators believe the haul could be worth close to €4 million, which is approximately £3.4 million.
The burglary took place before dawn, with the suspects reportedly heading straight for the jewellery room after forcing their way into the building. The museum has since announced that it will remain closed for several days while the investigation continues.
