The details are still developing, but French authorities have made arrests in last weekend's incredible heist at the Louvre, reports CNN. What's known so far:

  • French media say two suspects, both around age 30, were detained on Saturday evening, per the BBC.
  • The Paris prosecutor's office says one of them was arrested at the Roisy-Charles de Gaulle airport as he was preparing to fly to Algeria.

  • It was not immediately clear if authorities had recovered any of the stolen jewels, notes the New York Times.
  • Four thieves with power tools busted into the museum in broad daylight—with help from a furniture lift—and stole eight crown jewels valued at more than $100 million in less than 10 minutes last Sunday.
