Suspects in Louvre Jewelry Heist Arrested, French Authorities Say

French authorities arrested suspects in last week’s brazen Louvre jewelry heist, detaining at least one man at Charles de Gaulle Airport as he tried to leave the country, though they did not say how many were held or whether the more than $100 million in 19th-century crown jewels was recovered. The four-person robbery, executed in under 10 minutes, exposed outdated security at the museum. Investigators have gathered over 150 forensic samples and analyzed surveillance as they race to find the thieves. An €80 million security overhaul is slated to begin next year amid continued official calls for confidentiality.
