The media reported the theft of jewelry from a museum in France worth about € 4 million.

A major theft occurred at the Lalique Museum of jewelry in eastern France, during which intruders stole jewelry worth about €4 million. This was reported on July 5 by the newspaper Le Parisien, citing sources.

"About 20 pieces of jewelry were stolen. The value of the stolen items is still being estimated, but may reach several million euros, probably about 4 million euros," the publication says.

It is specified that several masked men broke down the door and smashed six display cases with jewelry. According to the newspaper, the stolen jewelry was made of crystal and did not contain precious stones, so it cannot be melted down.

In addition, it is noted that the alarm went off, but by the time the security company confirmed its activation, the police had already been called by the cleaner, who was the first on the scene.
