Two Arrested in Connection to $102 Million Louvre Heist

Paris, France – October 26, 2025 – French authorities have apprehended two suspects in connection with the daring October 19th jewelry heist at the Louvre Museum, which saw thieves make off with an estimated $102 million worth of precious artifacts.

The Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed the arrests on Sunday, October 26th, stating that the two men, both in their 30s and from the Seine-Saint-Denis suburb of Paris, were detained on Saturday evening. According to reports, one of the suspects was preparing to board a flight to Algeria from Charles de Gaulle airport. Both men were reportedly known to French police prior to the incident.

The brazen robbery, in which four hooded individuals used a crane to breach an upstairs window during opening hours before escaping on motorbikes, sent shockwaves around the world and prompted serious questions about security at the world’s most-visited museum.

The stolen treasures included a tiara and earring belonging to Queen Marie-Amélie and Queen Hortense from the early 19th century. The crown of Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III, was found damaged outside the museum, suggesting the thieves dropped it during their escape.

“This revelation can only hinder the investigative efforts of the 100 or so mobilised investigators, both in the search for the stolen jewellery and for all the perpetrators. It is too early to provide any specific details,” Ms. Beccuau said.

While Interior Minister Laurent Nunez has lauded the investigators’ efforts, no stolen jewels have yet been recovered. The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities focused on recovering the stolen items and apprehending any remaining suspects. The Louvre, home to masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo, attracts millions of visitors annually. Security measures are now under intense scrutiny following the humiliating theft.
