Daring thieves stole historic jewelry valued at $102 million in broad daylight, forcing the world’s most visited museum into lockdown.

French newspaper Le Parisien reported that the two men were arrested on Saturday evening and are expected to have been part of a group of four criminals.

One of the suspects was reportedly caught at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport as he was attempting to board a flight to Algeria in Africa.
