French officials arrest multiple suspects in Louvre crown jewel heist
Multiple suspects have been arrested in connection with the theft of crown jewels from the Louvre Museum in Paris last weekend, French officials said Sunday.
Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said that investigators made the arrests on Saturday evening, including one man who was taken into custody as he was about to leave the country from Charles de Gaulle airport.
Beccuau did not confirm the number of arrests, though French media BFM TV and Le Parisien newspaper earlier reported that two suspects had been arrested and taken into custody. She did not say whether the jewels had been recovered.
Thieves took less than eight minutes to steal jewels valued at 88 million euros ($102 million) — a high-profile heist that sparked a national reckoning and stunned the world. ...

As I suspected they think the thieves had inside security help. They think there were 4 thieves and two are now in custody. One was caught at the airport trying to flee to Algeria. I wonder if the jewels were stolen for an oil rich Arab's private collection.
