Professional thieves broke into the Louvre Sunday morning — stealing priceless jewels that belonged to Emperor Napoleon in a brazen daylight heist in Paris. The robbers used an aerial lift and an angle grinder to break in through the window of the iconic French attraction, before making off with nine pieces of jewelry, Le Parisien reported. The gang was in an out in just 10 minute — between 9:30 and 9:40 a.m., French outlet Le Monde reported. The museum was evacuated and closed as police swarmed the area — sparking panic among some tourists. Among the items snatched were a necklace, a brooch, and a tiara — the exact worth of which are still being calculated
