00:00Arrests have been made in the brazen jury heist at the Louvre Museum.
00:05Just as one suspect was about to fly out of France, according to a Paris prosecutor on Sunday.
00:11La Parisian newspaper, which first broke the story, reported that two men in their 30s,
00:16already known to French police, were detained on Saturday evening.
00:20Prosecutor Lerbe de Coe did not say how many people were arrested or give any more details about them,
00:25adding that it was, quote, too early to provide any specific details.
00:29On October 19th, four hooded thieves escaped the Louvre with eight precious pieces worth an estimated $102 million,
00:37exposing security lapses at the world's most visited museum.
00:41They broke in using a crane to smash an upstairs window during opening hours and escaped on motorbikes.
00:47The stolen treasures included a tiara and an earring from the jury of Queen Marie Amélie and Queen Hortense from the early 19th century.
00:55There was no indication on Sunday that any of France's stolen crown jewels had been recovered.
01:01News of the robbery reverberated around the world, prompting soul searching in France over what some regarded as a national humiliation.
01:09Many of the group maps best of might have been pulled from the Renaissance statue itself,
01:17which was to really roll up the right about the string of children itself.
