Two Louvre suspects 'partially' admit involvement in jewel heist

Two men arrested in connection with the Louvre jewel heist two weeks ago have "partially admitted" their involvement in the theft, the Paris prosecutor has said. Authorities say two thieves in high-visibility jackets smashed through a window of the Apollo Gallery and used power tools to cut open cases. Eight crown-jewel items — valued in some reports at more than $100 million — disappeared in minutes. A ninth piece, Empress Eugénie’s diamond-studded crown, was found on the ground outside the museum, damaged but salvageable. Two suspects have been arrested; others remain at large. Laure Beccuau said that the jewels had not been recovered yet.
