Louvre Heist: First Suspects Arrested

Louvre Heist: First Suspects Arrested

French police have made their first arrests in connection to a recent jewelry heist at the Louvre Museum.

Two suspects, believed to be in their thirties and known to police, were apprehended.

One was caught attempting to leave the country.

Authorities are investigating the case, racing to find the stolen jewelry before it can be dismantled or sold.

The prosecutor regrets the early disclosure of arrests as it may harm the investigation.

The police have the suspects in custody for up to 96 hours before deciding whether to release them or bring charges.

This is a major development in the case.
