PARIS (Reuters) -Suspects in the brazen daylight heist of some of France’s crown jewels from the Louvre were arrested near Paris on Saturday evening, the Paris prosecutor said, confirming an earlier report from newspaper Le Parisien.

Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said on Sunday that one of the men was arrested at Charles de Gaulle airport north of Paris as he was about to leave the country. She did not say in her statement how many men were arrested or give more details.
