Louvre Heist: Police Close In on Suspects, But Stolen Treasures Remain Missing

                A tiara adorned with pearls worn by French Empress Eugenie was among the items stolen by thieves

French authorities are tightening the net around the suspects behind the daring Louvre heist, but experts warn that the priceless artworks may never be recovered.

For now, the Louvre remains open, but under heightened security, as France grapples with the loss of cultural treasures that may never return to their rightful place.
