"Two suspects have been arrested in relation to last Sunday's heist at the Louvre museum in Paris, in which a gang of four men made off with crown jewels worth an estimated 88m (76m), according to the Paris prosecutor. Citing police sources, Le Parisien newpaper said on Sunday that the men, both in their 30s and from Seine St-Denis outside the French capital, were detained on Saturday evening as part of an investigation by the Paris organised crime squad."
"One of the suspects was apprehended around 10 pm (2000 GMT) on Saturday at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport as he was about to board a plane abroad, French media Le Parisien and Paris Match reported. The gang pulled up outside the world's most visited museum at 9.30am last Sunday in a stolen furniture removal truck fitted with an extending ladder and lift, in which two of them mounted to the first-floor Apollo gallery."
