Investigators said the police learned that one of the suspects might be preparing to flee to Algeria, so they launched an operation and arrested him at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport at around 22:00 on the 25th. Another suspect was also arrested on the 25th in the province of Seine-Saint-Denis.

The two suspects were previously known to the police for the theft, they were experienced and may have been charged with the crime.

Paris prosecutors confirmed on Monday that a suspect had been arrested in the Louvre robbery, but did not disclose the details of the arrest.

According to the Paris prosecutor's news, at around 9: 30 local time on the 19th, four masked men came outside the Louvre, divided their labor and cooperated to operate the lifting device, sneaked into the room from the external balcony of the building, snatched the displayed jewelry, and threatened the museum security with an angle grinder. Within minutes, nine pieces of jewelry were robbed, and one of the crowns belonging to Queen Eugenie has been found by the police. As of 26th, the rest of the stolen jewelry has not been recovered.

According to French media reports, after the robberies of the Louvre Museum in Paris, some of the jewelry collections have been transferred to the treasury of the French central bank.

France Radio RTL quoted several sources as saying that the collections were shipped to the treasury of the French bank, hundreds of meters from the museum, under police escort on the 24th. Details of the collection are unclear, but several royal jewelry exhibited in the Apollo corridor, where the robberies occurred, and some of the jewelry previously exhibited in the museum are being transferred.

According to the report, the banks have stored the collections in the 26 meters underground main treasury, where about 90% of France's gold reserves are stored, and several notes of Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci have been stored there for years.
