robber

The robbers were disturbed, with Sterling reportedly confronting them, and fled before they could steal anything.

Last month's spectacular Louvre heist, in which robbers made off with some of France's crown jewels, was a "deafening wake-up call" for museum security, the head of France's highest audit institution said Thursday.

Another video showed a robber carrying a weapon and opening the rear door of the van, while another loaded briefcases into the vehicle.

Twenty-eight employees were present when the robbers struck.

Prosecutors said they believed the robbers acted under orders from a criminal organisation.
