Two suspects partially admit involvement in Louvre heist, prosecutor says

Two men arrested in connection with the Louvre theft two weeks ago have "partially recognised" their involvement in the brazen heist, according to officials.

The pair in custody are suspected of being among those who broke into the museum's Apollon gallery and stole some of the French crown jewels.

Items worth €88m (£76m; $102m) were taken from the world's most-visited museum on 19 October, when four thieves wielding power tools broke into the building in broad daylight.

Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said that the jewels had not been recovered yet, and the gang involved could be bigger than the four people caught on CCTV.
