thieves used the Paris catacombs to break through to a luxury cellar

Thieves knocked through a wall of the Paris catacombs to break into a luxury apartment and steal wines with an estimated value of € 250,000.

About 300 bottles of fine wine were reportedly taken from the cellar of an apartment in the 6th arrondisse­ment of Paris, near Le Jardin du Luxembourg.

Only a small part of the catacombs is open to the public. Police speculated that an operation in the subterrane­an network, which stretches for several miles and houses the remains of six million dead, would require significan­t planning.
