Museum officials say outdated surveillance system left museum vulnerable despite years of warnings. There was just one surveillance camera in the area where thieves parked a truck-mounted lift to rob the Louvre Museum—and it was pointed in the wrong direction. Security guards monitoring screens in the museum’s command center were therefore oblivious as the crew of burglars wearing yellow reflective vests placed cones around the truck and raised its mechanized ladder toward the exterior balcony of the Galerie d’Apollon, home of the nation’s crown jewels. The blind spot cost the Louvre precious minutes to stop a heist in which every second counted. https://lnkd.in/gXJXKJvU
