Suspects arrested after crown jewels heist at Louvre museum

Paris prosecutors say suspects have been arrested over the theft of crown jewels from the Louvre last Sunday.

Thieves managed to scale the facade of the building in broad daylight – taking less than eight minutes to steal jewels valued at €88m.

An imperial crown with more than 1,300 diamonds was later found damaged outside the museum. One of the suspects was detained at the airport as he was about to leave the country.
