Police in France made arrests Saturday night for the jewelry theft at the Louvre last week, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said in a statement, including one who was apprehended trying to flee the country at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport.
The arrests took place Saturday evening, Beccuau said, but the prosecutor’s office provided few other details, including the exact number of people arrested, insisting it was still “too early” and would provide more information after this “phase of police custody.”
Reports of the arrests were first published in Le Parisien and other French news sources earlier Sunday, before the official announcement from prosecutors.
