A crown was damaged during a heist at the Louvre, with reports indicating it was dropped by thieves and left crushed. The crown, which is part of a historic collection, is expected to undergo restoration, although the extent of the damage is described inconsistently, with some outlets saying it was left "mangled" and others that it remains "intact". The incident is the latest in a series of museum raids in France, with other recent thefts including the loss of Lalique jewels worth millions.
