Summary

A daring weekend robbery at the Louvre Museum in Paris continues to capture worldwide attention. Thieves looted France’s most famous crown jewels, including an emerald necklace and earrings from the matching set of Empress Marie-Louise, even dropping another crown but leaving it behind. It all took under ten minutes for the thieves to complete their robbery, and police are examining some evidence left behind saying they are confident they will catch the robbers. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Scott Selby, co-author of 'Flawless: Inside The Largest Diamond Heist In History' and the Executive Producer of Netflix's 'Stolen: Heist Of The Century', who describes the details of the theft and what the thieves could be doing now with the stolen property.
