Two suspects have been arrested over the theft of precious crown jewels from Paris's Louvre museum, French media say,
BBC reports.
The Paris prosecutor's office said one of the men had been taken into custody as he was preparing to take a flight from Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Items worth €88m (£76m; $102m) were taken from the world's most-visited museum last Sunday, when four thieves wielding power tools broke into the building in broad daylight.
France's justice minister has conceded security protocols "failed", leaving the country with a "terrible image".
The Paris prosecutor's office said in a statement that the arrests had been made on Saturday evening, without specifying how many people had been taken into custody.
One of the suspects was preparing to travel to Algeria, police sources have told French media, while it is understood the other was going to Mali.
Specialist police can detain and question them for up to 96 hours.
According to reports in French media on Sunday, DNA found at the scene of the robbery led to the identification of one of the suspects.
The gang left behind a number of items, including gloves and a high-vis jacket.
It has previously been reported that they dropped a crown that once belonged to Empress Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III.
The Paris prosecutor criticised the "premature disclosure" of information related to the case, adding that it hindered efforts to recover the jewels and find the thieves.
The thieves reportedly arrived at 09:30 (08:30 GMT), shortly after the museum opened to visitors.
The suspects arrived with a vehicle-mounted mechanical lift to gain access to the Galerie d'Apollon (Gallery of Apollo) via a balcony close to the River Seine.
Pictures from the scene showed the ladder leading up to a first-floor window.
