Two suspects believed to be members of the four-man crew responsible for the high-profile jewellery theft at the Louvre Museum last week have been arrested by French police, according to multiple media reports and sources close to the investigation.
One of the suspects was captured around 10:00 pm (2000 GMT) on Saturday at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport as he was preparing to board a flight overseas, as reported by French media outlets Le Parisien and Paris Match.
The second suspect was arrested shortly afterwards in the Paris area, according to Le Parisien.
A large team of investigators had been assigned to locate the thieves who stole from the Louvre in broad daylight on October 19, making a getaway with royal jewels valued at approximately $102 million in just seven minutes.
The robbers climbed the adjustable ladder of a stolen moving truck and, using cutting tools, gained entry to a gallery on the first floor.
In their haste, they dropped a diamond- and emerald-encrusted crown while escaping down the ladder and onto scooters, but they successfully took eight other items, including an emerald-and-diamond necklace that Napoleon Bonaparte had gifted to his wife, Empress Marie-Louise.
The audacious heist has captured international attention and ignited a discussion in France about the safety measures of cultural institutions.
