Two men were arrested on Saturday night in connection with the theft of crown jewels worth $102 million from Paris’ Louvre Museum, authorities said.

The jewels were stolen last Sunday, as previously reported by Deseret News . Investigators believe at least four people were involved in the heist, though only two are currently in custody.

The stolen pieces were part of the Apollo Gallery , which houses France’s royal and imperial crown jewels. The gallery, named for the Greek god of light, also features pieces by artists like Delacroix and Le Brun.

One of the suspects was apprehended at Charles de Gaulle airport en route to Algeria while the other was preparing to travel to Mali, police sources told French media. Under French law, both can be detained and questioned for up to 96 hours
