The whole raid took just seven minutes, say officials AFP The hunt was on Monday for the band of thieves who stole eight priceless royal pieces of jewellery from the Louvre Museum in the heart of Paris in broad daylight. Officials said a team of 60 investigators were working on the theory that the raid was planned and executed by an organised crime group. In France, it reignited a row over the lack of security in France's museums, which the new Interior Minister Laurent Nunez acknowledged Sunday was a "major weak spot".
