Four Suspects Held in Louvre Museum Heist as Stolen Jewels Remain Missing

In October 2025, thieves broke into Paris's Louvre museum in broad daylight, escaping within eight minutes with jewellery valued at 102 million euros. Four men in their thirties have been arrested, including Abdoulaye N., an unlicensed taxi driver, and a 35-year-old Algerian detained while preparing to leave Paris. A fifth suspect, a woman linked to one of the men, faces accomplice charges but remains free under supervision. Despite questioning, authorities have no significant leads and the stolen jewels remain missing. Investigators noted careful planning and DNA traces left during the hurried escape.
