Two have been arrested over theft of precious jewels from Louvre museum in Paris, French media says.
Priceless crown jewels were taken from the world’s most famous museum last weekend, when four thieves wielding power tools broke into the building in broad daylight.
Two suspects, from the Parisian borough of Seine-Saint Denis, were arrested on Saturday evening and placed in police custody as part of the investigations opened for “theft in an organised gang” and “association of criminals for the commission of a crime”, led by the Paris Banditry Repression Brigade (BRB) and the Central Office for the Fight against Trafficking in Cultural Goods (OCBC), according to Le Parisien.
