Four security guards at the Louvre were robbed and the director resigned after the incident.

On the 22nd local time, Laurence de Carr, director of the Louvre Museum in France, attended the hearing of the French Senate and was questioned about the recent robbery of cultural relics in the Louvre Museum. She said that there are weak links in the security around the Louvre, and the monitoring is seriously insufficient, and a series of corrective measures will be implemented in the future.

In the statement of the case, the administrator said that when the robbery occurred, the internal alarm and surveillance of the museum worked normally, and there were four unarmed guards present in the Apollo Corridor at the scene, who responded professionally to ensure no casualties.

The director admitted that the museum failed to detect the arrival of the robbers in advance. Perimeter protection is a "weak link" in the security of the Louvre. The surveillance cameras on the exterior walls of the building have long-term problems such as aging equipment and serious shortage of quantity, and cannot cover all facades, including one side of the Apollo Promenade.

In recent years, the museum has focused mainly on the potential damage that environmental activists can cause by acting aggressively on climate change issues, such as splashing paint on paintings. Today, the targets have shifted to precious artifacts, metals and gemstones, and the methods are similar to organized crime.

In view of the above defects, the curator put forward a number of improvement measures. In the short term, she hopes to immediately strengthen the perimeter protection of the Louvre, such as setting up isolation devices to prevent vehicles from stopping. The long-term plan includes doubling and upgrading the number of monitoring equipment in the museum area, and applying to the French Ministry of the Interior to set up a police station in the museum.

Laurence de Carle said she had requested her resignation to the French minister of culture after the Louvre museum robbery, but was rejected.
