Conspiracists suggest Louvre heist was FAKED in new viral theory

Conspiracy theorists are claiming that the audacious £76million Louvre heist may have been faked - with wild speculation that the world's most famous museum was never actually burgled. A gang posing as construction workers stormed the Louvre's Galerie d'Apollon last Friday, escaping in under eight minutes with eight pieces of the French crown Jewels. The thieves used a hoist to access a side window before smashing reinforced glass cases and vanishing into the Paris streets. Tourists were ushered out as alarms echoed through the marble halls in what officials have described as one of the boldest art thefts in recent memory. The daylight raid stunned museum staff and triggered an international investigation. But now a series of wild claims are sweeping Reddit , TikTok and X suggesting the heist was not a crime at all. One of the far-fetched theories proposes it was in fact a carefully staged stunt for the upcoming film Now You See Me 3.
