Very concerning news broke yesterday morning regarding some jewels that were stolen from the Louvre in Paris. It seems the thieves managed to access galleries via a mechanical lift and balcony. No one was hurt and the thieves have been described as 'very professional'. Fingers crossed they'll be tracked down.
