Police arrested the suspect who stole jewellery and diamonds worth Rs 895 crore in Paris. How did he carry out the theft?

Two suspects have been arrested in connection with the theft of precious jewelry and diamonds from Paris's world-famous Louvre Museum. They are residents of the Seine-Saint-Denis area, one of France's most underprivileged regions.

According to officials, one suspect was detained at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport around 10 p.m. (2000 GMT) Saturday night as he was about to board a plane to Algeria. The second suspect was arrested shortly afterward in the Paris area.

French police had information about the suspects.

According to local media reports, one of the suspects is a French citizen, while the other holds both French and Algerian citizenship. Both are reportedly around 30 years old and were known to French police.

How was the theft carried out?

This major theft at the Louvre occurred on October 19th. The thieves used a crane to break an upstairs window while the museum was open and stole eight priceless pieces of jewelry worth approximately $102 million from the Galerie d'Apollon, or Apollo Gallery, in about seven minutes. They then fled on motorbikes, sparking a massive manhunt across France.

Days after the incident, a video showed a thief cutting through a glass display case as visitors walked by. Another clip showed two robbers dressed in construction gear escaping using a hydraulic lift after the theft.
