Paris prosecutors have announced the first arrests in connection with the high-profile theft of crown jewels from the Louvre Museum, a week after the daring heist at the world-renowned institution. The suspects were apprehended on Saturday evening, marking a significant breakthrough in the investigation. The timeline of events reveals a meticulously planned operation. On October 10, thieves used a false pretext to steal a basket lift, employing threats but no violence. The company owning the truck filed a complaint in Louvres, a town north of Paris. On October 19, the thieves, disguised as renovation workers, parked the truck equipped with a freight lift near the Louvre. They used traffic cones to simulate maintenance and gained entry through a window. At 9:34 a.m., they entered the Apollo Gallery, triggering an alarm. Security officers evacuated visitors, and the museum manager alerted the police. The thieves used disc cutters to break into display cases and stole the jewels. They fled on scooters, leaving behind equipment. Later that day, the imperial crown of Empress Eugénie was found outside the museum, but eight other invaluable objects remained missing. On October 22, the museum reopened, with 100 investigators and forensics experts analyzing evidence. On October 26, arrests were made, with one suspect preparing to leave the country. The investigation continues, with no confirmation on whether any jewels have been recovered.
