The Paris prosecutor said on Sunday that a number of suspects have been arrested over the theft of crown jewels from Paris’ Louvre museum.

The prosecutor said that investigators made the arrests on Saturday evening, adding that one of the men taken into custody was preparing to leave the country from Roissy Airport.

One of the two suspects was about to leave the country and was arrested at Charles de Gaulle airport at about 10 p.m. on Saturday. Another suspect was arrested later in the evening in the Seine-Saint-Denis suburb north of Paris.

Paris police were not immediately available for comment.
