A collection of jewels, historically associated with Napoleon and Empress Josephine, was stolen from the Louvre Museum in Paris on Sunday morning. French Culture Minister Rachida Dati confirmed the "exceptional" security breach and stated she was at the scene as investigations began. Reports from the incident described thieves, some reportedly armed with chainsaws. The Louvre Museum subsequently announced its closure for "exceptional reasons" on social media, as a probe into the theft was launched.
