TWO ARRESTED AFTER JEWEL HEIST AT TEFAF ART FAIR

Smartly dressed robbers wielding what appeared to be weapons and a sledgehammer snatched jewelry in a brazen heist Tuesday at an international art fair in the southern Dutch city of Maastricht. Police made two arrests and said they were hunting more suspects. Video purporting to be of the robbery showed one man pounding at something out of picture with a sledgehammer as an alarm rang. Three other men, also neatly dressed, stood guard. At least two appeared to be brandishing guns. All four ran off together. Photos from the scene that also were posted on social media showed holes smashed in glass display cabinets at the prestigious TEFAF art fair. Police later said that the two suspects they arrested were Belgians, aged 22 and 26.
