French authorities have arrested suspects in last week�s audacious Louvre heist that saw thieves steal crown jewels worth $102 million. One suspect was caught attempting to flee the country from Roissy Airport, officials said. The Louvre�s director called the theft a �terrible failure,� describing how the intruders scaled the fa�ade, smashed display cases, and escaped within eight minutes.

Investigators are still working to recover the jewels, which included priceless pieces once owned by queens and empresses of France.
