According to BFMTV, one suspect was detained late Saturday at the Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle Airport while attempting to board a flight to Algeria. The arrest was carried out by border police and the anti-banditry brigade. A second person was also taken into custody in connection with the heist, believed to be a four-member group that smashed a window in the Apollon Gallery before escaping with the jewels. Investigators are still searching for two remaining suspects and the stolen items. The stolen collection included a necklace and an earring from the Marie-Louise collection, a necklace, earrings, and tiara from the Marie-Amelie and Hortense collections, and two brooches, a bodice bow, and a tiara from the Empress Eugenie collection. Investigators later found Eugenie’s crown, which the robbers abandoned near the museum — a discovery that a Louvre security guard described as evidence that their “plan was thwarted.”
