“One of the men arrested was preparing to leave the country from Roissy airport,” she added, referring to Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, located in Roissy-en-France. “It is too early to provide any further details,” Beccuau said.
French media, including Paris Match and The Parisianreported that there were two suspects arrested, both about 30 years old, with one taken into custody as he tried to board a flight to Algeria from Charles de Gaulle airport.
According to the media reports, the suspects are believed to have been part of the gang of four theives who broke into the Louvre last Sunday and stole jewelry from the Apollo Gallery. The brazen daylight burglary has led to mounting public pressure to find the culprits.
Beccuau in her statement said that “more than a hundred investigators have been mobilized to gather evidence and go after the burglars.” She suggested that media coverage of the probe may hinder the investigation.
”I deeply regret the hasty disclosure of this information by uninformed individuals, without regard for the investigation,” Beccuau said.
Meanwhile, a part of the jewelry collection that was not stolen has been transferred to a vault at the French National Bank.
