Louvre heist suspect revealed to be French social media star: reports
Global News
Four suspects are in custody as part of the investigation, including three believed to be members of the team that was filmed gaining access through the museum’s window.
More details are being revealed about the suspects involved in the brazen daylight Louvre Museum heist that lasted less than eight minutes inside the world’s most-visited museum last month.
A 39-year-old French social media personality has been identified as one of the four suspects arrested and charged after the Louvre burglary, according to Le Parisien.
Abdoulaye N, known online as Doudou Cross Bitume, was detained at his home in Aubervilliers and placed in pre-trial detention. He faces preliminary charges of theft by an organized gang and criminal conspiracy.
In total, four suspects are in custody as part of the investigation, including three believed to be members of the team of four filmed using a cherry picker to reach the museum’s window and gain access.
Abdoulaye N. runs YouTube and TikTok channels under Doudou Cross Bitume. Videos show him performing tricks on motocross in Paris and Aubervilliers.
His acquaintances told BFMTV that he is a “role model for his generation” and a “star of motorcycle stunts.”
Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said that Abdoulaye N. had been convicted in 2015 for a robbery committed in 2014, in the same theft case involving a 37-year-old, who was also arrested last week in connection with the Louvre heist.
The suspect is believed to be one of the two thieves who broke into the Apollo Gallery with power tools, cutting into display cases to steal the jewels. His DNA was reportedly found on one of the cases and on items they left behind.
