## Caption

The Paris prosecutor's office has dismissed the Hollywood-style masterminds behind last month's Louvre heist as amateurish petty criminals from the city's gritty northern suburbs rather than organized crime pros.⁣
⁣
The $102 million daytime smash-and-grab was a seven-minute raid by two men using a movers' lift to scale the museum, who shattered display cases with angle grinders, and scooted away, dropping Empress Eugenie's priceless emerald-and-diamond crown in their haste.⁣
⁣
They even left tools and failed to torch their getaway truck. ⁣
⁣
Three suspects are now in custody, including a 34-year-old Algerian resident and a convicted thief linked to a 2015 robbery, plus his partner whose DNA mysteriously turned up in the vehicle.⁣
⁣
The glittering haul is still missing. ⁣
