French police have arrested two suspects linked to the €88 million crown jewel theft from Paris’s Louvre museum. One man was caught at Charles de Gaulle Airport before flying to Algeria, and the other was headed to Mali. The robbery happened last Sunday when four thieves used power tools to break into the museum and steal jewels once owned by Empress Eugenie. They fled within four minutes.
