Strasbourg (Lord Media): French authorities have launched an investigation following the theft of jewelry worth millions of euros from the renowned Lalique Museum. The incident occurred on Sunday morning in Wingen-sur-Moder.
According to investigative sources, the thieves entered the museum at around 5:30 AM and stole 20 valuable pieces of jewelry. Officials estimate the stolen items could be worth up to 4 million euros.
The museum administration has announced that the museum will remain closed during the investigation. Despite the alarm sounding, the security company arrived late at the scene.
