They did catch the main Louvre robbers. By late November 2025, French prosecutors said all four core members of the commando-style team behind the October 19 Louvre jewellery heist had been identified and arrested.

What happened with the gang?

  • Four men in their 30s are suspected of carrying out the brazen daytime raid that stole eight pieces of French crown jewellery worth around 100 million dollars.
  • Two were initially arrested in late October 2025 (one at Charles de Gaulle airport trying to leave for Algeria, another later in the Paris region), and further suspects were detained in the following weeks.

“Did they catch them?” – the current status

  • French authorities now consider the four‑man operational team behind the break‑in to be in custody, with the last key suspect charged around 27–28 November 2025.
  • Several other people were questioned or briefly detained on suspicion of helping or being linked to the network, but not all of them were charged.

What about the stolen jewels?

  • The spectacular part of the story is that, even though the main robbers have been caught, the jewels themselves have not been recovered as of the latest public reports.
  • This includes a historic emerald-and-diamond necklace once belonging to Empress Marie‑Louise, Napoleon’s second wife, and other crown pieces whose cultural value is considered “priceless.”

Why this is still a big story

  • Investigations and government reviews have heavily criticized security at the Louvre, noting blind spots in CCTV, poorly positioned exterior cameras, and an “aging” surveillance system that let the thieves get in and out in about four minutes.
  • The case remains a trending topic in crime and culture discussions because it mixes a cinematic heist, high‑value heritage objects, and ongoing questions about how such a famous museum could be so vulnerable.
