The thieves, posing as workers, used a truck-mounted device to reach the second floor before smashing through a window with power tools.

Squeezing into the lavish Apollo Gallery, they cut through reinforced glass display cases and grabbed eight jewels before fleeing on scooters.

Prosecutors raced to arrest those involved in the robbery, with experts fearful that the priceless gems and rare metals would be melted and sold.

The gallery, known in French as the Galerie d’Apollon, remains closed, according to the Louvre website.
