ALBAWABA - French authorities announced the arrest of two men suspected of being part of the gang, who stole precious jewellery from the Louvre museum last week.

One of the suspects was held at around 10:00 p.m. local time on Saturday at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport as he was about to escape, French media Le Parisien and Paris Match reported.

The other person was arrested by the police shortly after the first one in the Paris region, Le Parisien added.

The world's most famous and most visited museum was robbed in broad daylight on October 19, after four men broke into the place and stole about $102 million worth of jewellery in just seven minutes.
