Two Suspects Arrested in Louvre Crown Jewel Heist After Weeklong Manhunt

Two men from Seine-Saint-Denis were arrested after an eight-minute heist that stole eight crown jewels valued at €88 million, with over 100 investigators involved in the case.

  • On Oct. 19, 2025, thieves struck the Louvre's Apollo Gallery, stealing eight objects from France's Crown Jewels valued at 88 million euros.
  • Using a basket lift and ladder, the intruders forced open a window and smashed cases, completing the Louvre raid in less than eight minutes with under four minutes inside.
  • The Paris prosecutor said investigators arrested two men in their 30s from Seine‑Saint‑Denis on Saturday evening, and one suspect was stopped at Charles de Gaulle Airport preparing to depart.
  • The Louvre reopened earlier this week while about 100 investigators pursue suspects, and Empress Eugénie's emerald-set imperial crown was found outside damaged but recoverable.
  • Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau warned the jewels may be destroyed, likely stripped of gems and melted, while officials deplored premature media leaks risking hindrance to roughly 100 investigators.
