Jewellery Worth Millions Stolen in Early Morning Burglary at France's Lalique Museum
Masked thieves broke into France's Lalique Museum in Wingen-sur-Moder early on July 5, stealing around 20 pieces of jewellery valued at several million euros. The burglars smashed display cases and triggered alarms but fled quickly. The museum, which showcases over 650 works by René Lalique, will remain closed for security upgrades. Authorities are reviewing CCTV footage as investigations continue. This marks France's second major museum heist in recent months, following a theft at the Louvre last October.
