The thieves who brazenly robbed the\u00a0Louvre Museum in Paris and\u00a0stole priceless jewelry\u00a0in one of the most daring museum heists in recent memory may have been hired by a private collector, officials said.<\/p>\n

Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau told local media that investigators believe the robbers, who carried out the raid in just seven minutes in broad daylight Sunday, may have been commissioned by a collector or purely motivated by the value of the jewels and precious metals, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re looking at the hypothesis of organized crime<\/a>,” Beccuau told BFM TV, noting that the thieves could be professionals operating on spec for a buyer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beccuau added that if a collector did commission the heist, there is hope that the stolen pieces will remain intact and well-preserved until recovered, the outlet reported. If the thieves acted independently, they may have targeted the jewels for their potential use in laundering criminal proceeds.<\/p>\n

“Nowadays, anything can be linked to drug trafficking<\/a>, given the significant sums of money obtained from\u00a0drug trafficking,” Beccuau said, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n

Investigators are keeping all leads open, but foreign interference has reportedly been largely ruled out in the case.<\/p>\n

LOUVRE MUSEUM CLOSED AFTER ROBBERY, FRENCH OFFICIAL SAYS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Former jewel thief Larry Lawton, who now assists police on such investigations, told Fox News that the operation “had to be an inside job” or the thieves must have “had inside information.”<\/p>\n

“How did they know how thick the glass was, whether there was an alarm on there?” Lawton asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lawton added that if he were the thieves, he would not immediately sell the items to avoid detection.<\/p>\n

“I might put them and stash them somewhere no one knows, wait a year or two,” Lawton said, adding that companies would eventually give out a reward “with no questions asked.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“They\u2019ll put up a million dollars for this \u2026 obviously they want their jewels back,” he said.<\/p>\n

The Louvre, the world\u2019s most-visited museum, announced it would remain closed on Monday following Sunday\u2019s daring theft<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Masked thieves disguised as construction workers struck in front of visitors and staff Sunday morning, a period described as one of the museum\u2019s most chaotic, authorities said. Officials said thieves extended a basket lift to a window and smashed it open with an angle grinder. They reportedly used a disc cutter to slice through glass panes protecting the jewels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A total of nine objects were targeted, eight of which were stolen, officials said. The thieves<\/a> failed to take the ninth item, the crown of Napoleon III\u2019s wife, Empress Eugenie, during their escape.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The crown alone is worth tens of millions of euros, though experts say it is not the most significant piece.<\/p>\n

Authorities have not yet identified the robbers, who made their escape on motorbikes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
