Two former delivery drivers have "partially confessed" to stealing France's crown jewels from the Louvre museum, according to Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau. The suspects, whose DNA linked them to the crime, have not yet led police to the missing jewels valued at $102 million. The heist occurred on October 19, when four thieves used a furniture elevator truck to break into the Galerie d’Apollon, drilling into display cases and escaping on scooters.

One suspect, a 34-year-old Algerian national, was arrested at Charles de Gaulle airport trying to board a flight to Algeria . The second suspect, a 39-year-old taxi driver, was apprehended near his home. Both were known to police for previous offenses. Beccuau stated that investigations are ongoing to find two other thieves still at large.
