Officials are investigating after a group of thieves stole eight pieces of jewelry from Paris' iconic Louvre Museum on Oct. 19.

At around 9:30 a.m. local time, the thieves climbed a crane to reach the Galerie d'Apollon, a first-floor wing of the museum that houses the French Crown Jewels. After shattering a window, they broke two display cases, took nine pieces from the collection and escaped on motorbikes, French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said on France Inter radio.

As of Monday, Oct. 20, officials said a manhunt was under way for the four people who staged the audacious daylight robbery, Reuters reported.

The Louvre was closed for the rest of the day on Oct. 19 and for the full day on Oct. 20.
