Louvre problems probed by French Senate

Thieves who stole more than 100 million US dollars in crown jewels from the Louvre in October escaped with barely 30 seconds to spare, a French Senate inquiry said on Wednesday. 
The probe found that only one of two cameras covering the break-in point was functioning, and that security staff lacked enough screens to monitor footage in real time. 
When the alarm finally sounded, police were initially dispatched to the wrong location, investigators to senators. 
However, the head of the inquiry Noel Corbin said that give or take 30 seconds, guards or police could have intercepted the thieves. 
The report also cited outdated equipment, unaddressed vulnerabilities flagged in earlier audits, and poor coordination between the Louvre and its supervisory authorities. 
All four suspected members of the robbery crew have been arrested, but the missing jewels have not been recovered.
