The director of the Louvre on Wednesday admitted to inadequate camera surveillance of the museum's outside walls, three days after thieves robbed it of prize jewels in a brazen daytime heist. But Laurence des Cars said that a diamond- and emerald-studded crown that the burglars damaged and dropped as they fled on Sunday could be restored. FRANCE 24's Yinka Oyetade reports.
