About this video

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 the two who used power tools to enter the museum's Apollon gallery and steal some of the French crown jewels.

Items worth โ‚ฌ88m (ยฃ76m; $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.

The two men, both in their thirties, have criminal records and were identified by DNA found during investigations, Beccuau said.
