Jewelry worth €4 million stolen from Lalique museum in eastern France

Burglars stole approximately 20 pieces of jewelry from the René Lalique museum in Wingen-sur-Moder on Sunday, with an estimated value of up to €4 million according to a source.

• The alarm was triggered during the burglary; a cleaner arriving to work contacted police before the security company could verify the alarm.
• The museum administration announced the theft and its temporary closure on social media, citing the need to plan a safe reopening.
• A source said the security system was insufficient and that the site had been under special scrutiny since the October 2025 Louvre robbery.
