Police Hunt Remaining Louvre Thieves After First Arrests in $102 Million Heist. French police are continuing their search for the remaining suspects in the $102 million Louvre jewel heist, following the arrest of two men linked to the theft. The arrests mark the first major breakthrough in the investigation, a week after robbers stormed the Galerie d’Apollon, threatening guards and escaping with eight of France’s crown jewels. One suspect was detained at Charles de Gaulle Airport as he attempted to leave the country, according to Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau. Both men are being held on suspicion of organized theft and criminal conspiracy. DNA evidence recovered from the crime scene helped identify the suspects, who were already listed in national police databases. Police union spokesperson Axel Ronde said the men have prior convictions and are known for targeting jewelry stores. Under French law, police can detain suspects for up to 96 hours in organized crime cases before charges must be filed. Beccuau said investigators are still searching for the missing jewels and additional suspects, but declined to release further details to avoid jeopardizing the case.
