The thieves who stole France’s crown jewels have been told they will receive lighter sentences if they hand themselves in and return the stolen goods.

The Paris prosecutor said on Sunday that a number of suspects have been arrested over the theft of crown jewels from the Louvre museum in Paris last weekend.

The director of the Louvre Museum has acknowledged a “terrible failure” at the Paris monument after a stunning daylight crown jewel heist at the world’s most-visited museum, and said she offered to resign, but it was refused.

PARIS (AP) — It was shortly after the stunning heist of the crown jewels at the Louvre when Paris-based Associated Press photographer Thibault Camus caught in his frame a dapperly dressed young man walking by uniformed French police officers, their car blocking one of the museum gates. Instinctively, he took the shot.
