Heisters Nabbed

Police have reportedly arrested two men in connection with last week’s brazen midmorning Louvre heist targeting France’s crown jewels.

Last Sunday, a hooded quartet took less than eight minutes to enter the world’s most-visited museum through a window, steal jewels worth an estimated $102M (plus incalculable historical value), and escape on scooters. Then Saturday night, police arrested two suspects, one of whom was about to board a plane to Algeria. 

According to a Parisian newspaper, officials ID’ed the men—both in their 30s and known for past robberies—through DNA found at the scene. Cops believe they were hired to pull off the job.

Prosecutors haven’t confirmed the arrest details or whether the jewels had been recovered, saying leaked details “can only hinder” the race to find other suspects, the operation’s mastermind, and the heisters’ haul.

CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE
Imitating our just and merciful Father, followers of Christ root for justice while retaining love for all parties—both the accused and the accusers—desiring restoration, not revenge.

“The LORD is waiting to show you mercy, and is rising up to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. All who wait patiently for him are happy.”
