A major theft occurred at the National Museum of Natural History located in Paris, the capital of France. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to the Actu17 portal, the incident took place between Monday night and Tuesday morning. As a result, the museum suffered significant material damage.
The robbers entered the museum with thorough preparation in advance and managed to bypass the security system excellently. They stole a total of six gold bars.
The total value of these gold bars is estimated at around 600,000 euros, making this one of the largest museum thefts in France in recent years. An investigation is currently underway regarding the incident.
The special brigade of the French judicial police against banditry has taken control of the case and is using all available means to identify the individuals responsible for the theft. Investigators emphasize that the robbers' actions were carried out according to a clear plan.
The National Museum of Natural History is one of the largest scientific research centers in France, housing laboratories, libraries, a botanical garden, and the Vincennes Zoo. Therefore, the museum holds not only scientific but also cultural and educational significance.
Additionally, reports had been made in August about the museum being subjected to a cyberattack. As a result of this attack, online research, library activities, and expert evaluations became difficult to conduct.
The current theft incident raises many questions about the effectiveness of the museum's security systems. The investigation process is ongoing, and important information is expected to be announced soon.
