Parisians reacted on Sunday to the news suspects had been arrested in connection with the theft of crown jewels from the Louvre museum, a week after the heist that stunned the world and sparked a massive manhunt.

The Paris prosecutor said that investigators made arrests Saturday evening.

French media BFM TV and Le Parisien newspaper earlier reported that two suspects had been arrested and taken into custody.

Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau did not confirm the number of arrests and did not say whether any jewels had been recovered.

A police official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing case, told The Associated Press that two men in their 30s, both known to police, were taken into custody.

He said one suspect was arrested as he attempted to board a plane bound for Algeria.

The official added that one of the suspects was identified through DNA traces.

Beccuau said earlier this week that forensics experts were analyzing 150 samples at the scene.

The suspects can be held in police custody up to 96 hours.
