One of the suspects was apprehended around 10pm on Saturday at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport as he was about to board a plane abroad, French media Le Parisien and Paris Match reported. The gang pulled up outside the world’s most visited museum at 9.30am last Sunday in a stolen furniture removal truck fitted with an extending ladder and lift, in which two of them mounted to the first-floor Apollo gallery. Wearing hi-vis vests to resemble construction workers, they smashed an unsecured window and then used disc cutters to open two display cases in the ornate gallery before descending in the bucket lift and making their escape on the back of motorbikes driven by the other two members of the gang.
