French police question two in connection with Louvre Museum robbery

PARIS, FRANCE - OCT. 27, 2025: French authorities continue to interrogate two suspects arrested in connection with the October 19 heist at the world-famous Louvre Museum, where several historical artifacts were stolen.According to BFMTV, the detainees are believed to be two of the four perpetrators involved in the robbery, though the stolen artifacts have not yet been recovered.Following the arrests, French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez expressed his gratitude to investigators and law enforcement officers in a post on social media platform X, emphasizing that the investigation would continue “with confidentiality and determination.”French authorities had arrested two suspects linked to last week’s burglary at the Louvre Museum, where eight of France’s crown jewels worth an estimated €88 million ($102M) were stolen, local media reported on Sunday.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.”(Footage by Mohamad Salaheldin Abdelg Alsayed /Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
