Investigators uncover 150 clues in Louvre heist

French investigators recovered more than 150 DNA, fingerprint and other traces after a brazen daylight robbery at the Louvre, prosecutor Laure Beccuau said. Hooded thieves climbed an extendable ladder to the Apollo Gallery and escaped with eight jewels once owned by French queens and empresses, worth about €88 million ($102 million). Footage shows internal alarms triggering at 9:34 a.m. and staff briefly confronting the burglars before retreating. The museum’s director admitted an exterior CCTV blind spot and pledged upgrades, while detectives track the suspects using public and private cameras in Paris and surrounding regions.
