Two people have been arrested over the robbery of the Louvre Museum.
Three robbers stole £76million in jewels in just seven minutes, soon after the museum opened on October 19.
One of the individuals was arrested while trying to board a flight to Algeria from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris on Saturday night, French media reported.
The other person was arrested shortly after, on the same evening.
The authorities are currently questioning both.
The suspects, both believed to be in their 30s, are initially from Seine-Saint-Denis in the French capital, according to reports.
The thieves targeted a room in the Apollo Gallery, where what remains of France’s crown jewels is kept.
Two of the men entered the building through a smashed window and stole nine pieces from Napoleon and the Empress’s jewellery collection.
