Jewelry worth millions of dollars stolen from French museum

Masked thieves raided the Lalique museum near Strasbourg before dawn, smashing display cases and stealing about 20 crystal jewelry pieces worth nearly €4 million.
An alarm did go off but police were only alerted after a cleaning lady arrived, prompting local anger over a security lapse as CCTV is reviewed.
The theft is the latest in a string of high‑profile museum break‑ins in France, coming months after the dramatic $102 million jewel heist at the Louvre.
