Police were investigating the robbery and how it took place on Sunday morning. Preliminary details revealed the thieves used a mechanised lift to access upstairs windows for entry, per French newspaper Le Parisien. After breaking the windows, the culprits bagged nine Napoleonic jewels left on display and fled on scooters.
