Diamonds Stolen From Louvre Worth a Cool 21Million
Two diamonds worth over $21 million were taken today from an antique and jewellery dealers' biennial show at the Louvre museum complex. Reuters reports police say the thieves made their move while the store employee guarding them was absent from the stand for about 15 minutes. They stole a 47-carat diamond worth an estimated $11 million and a second stone of about 30 carats worth $10 million. Police said there were no surveillance cameras nor alarms at the show in which over a hundred antiques and jewellery dealers are displaying their most rare, and expensive, pieces.
