伦敦-1.02亿美元的嫌疑人之一珠宝抢劫在卢浮宫博物馆据一名司机说，在巴黎，他可能有令人惊讶的一面。这名司机说，在抢劫发生前几周，他得到了这名男子的帮助。
在接受美国广播公司新闻采访时，24岁的艾哈迈德·阿拉(Ahmed Alla)说，他在9月被困在巴黎环路上，没有汽油并面临罚款，当时一名摩托车手停下来帮助他。
“我正在打电话叫警察派一辆拖车来。每个人都冲我按喇叭，但他是唯一停下来帮忙的人，”阿拉说。
据报道，这名被阿拉描述为冷静可靠的男子主动提出帮助他的汽车脱离危险。
“他说，‘我可以把你的车推到一边，然后我们把它开出环路，这样你就不会被处以€135英镑(157美元)的罚款，’”阿拉回忆道。“我认为这很危险，但他让我放心，说他会让其他司机在我们移动我的车时停下来。”
阿拉说，这名摩托车手帮助推了他的车大约200到300米，然后安全地引导他离开高速公路。
在Alla录制并随后发布在X上的视频中，可以看到该男子在开车离开时挥手告诉他:“打电话给你的保险公司，他们会派一辆拖车来。祝你好运!”
“他从头到尾都很友好，给我建议。非常非常好，”阿拉说。
该视频在网上引起了关注。司机说，一名用户认出了这名男子，并在Snapchat上连接了Alla和他，两人简短地交换了信息。阿拉说他感谢好心人的帮助。
ABC新闻无法独立确认视频中的男子是一名被捕的嫌疑人，但抢劫案的调查人员向ABC新闻证实，Snapchat属于其中一名嫌疑人。他们还说，他们知道这个视频，尽管这不是他们调查的一部分。
几周后，Alla说他震惊地看到法国媒体将同一个Snapchat账号与其中一名男子联系在一起被指控参与了无耻的盗窃10月19日来自卢浮宫的高价值珠宝。
“当我们发短信时，我意识到他非常善良，”阿拉说。"这就是为什么当我得知他参与了抢劫时感到惊讶。"
当局还没有确认Alla视频中男子的身份，他是目前被拘留的嫌疑人之一。
10月19日，当一群小偷闯入卢浮宫博物馆的阿波罗时，这起无耻的白天抢劫案震惊了巴黎带走了八件文化价值连城的法国皇冠珠宝。
窃贼在博物馆开门后不久就到了，他们使用机械升降机进入一楼俯瞰塞纳河的窗户。根据法国调查人员的说法，其中两人用电动工具打破窗户强行进入，威胁警卫将他们赶出去，然后用这些工具打碎了画廊中两个陈列柜的玻璃。
调查人员说，窃贼在博物馆内停留了大约四分钟，然后骑着外面等着他们的小型摩托车逃跑了。一件被盗的珠宝，一个属于皇后欧也妮的皇冠，被发现掉在逃跑路线上。
这一大胆的犯罪引发了人们对世界上最著名的博物馆之一的安全程度的严重质疑。到目前为止，已有7名与这起盗窃案有关的人被捕。
Paris driver says Louvre heist suspect is Good Samaritan who helped him on roadway
LONDON -- One of the suspects in the $102 millionjewelry heistat theLouvre Museumin Paris may have a surprising side to him, according to a driver who says he was helped by the man weeks before the robbery.
In an interview with ABC News, Ahmed Alla, 24, said he was stranded on the Paris ring road in September, out of gas and facing fines, when a motorcyclist stopped to assist him.
"I was calling the police to send a tow truck. Everyone was honking at me, but he was the only one who stopped to help," Alla said.
The man, who Alla described as calm and reassuring, reportedly offered to help move his car out of danger.
"He said, 'I can push your car out of the way, then we'll get it off the ring road, so you don't get a €135 ($157) fine,'" Alla recalled. "I thought it was dangerous, but he reassured me, saying he'd ask other drivers to stop while we moved my car."
Alla said the motorcyclist helped push his vehicle about 200 to 300 meters before safely guiding him off the highway.
In a video recorded by Alla and later posted on X, the man is seen waving as he drives off, telling him: "Call your insurance company and they'll send a tow truck. Good luck!"
"He was very kind throughout, right up to the end, giving me advice. Very, very nice," Alla said.
That video caught attention online. A user recognized the man and connected Alla with him on Snapchat, where the two briefly exchanged messages, the driver said.Alla said he thanked the good Samaritan for his help.
ABC News can't independently confirm the man in the video is an arrested suspect but investigators of the heist have confirmed to ABC News that the Snapchat belongs to one of the suspects. They also said they are aware of the video, although it is not part of their investigation.
Weeks later, Alla said he was stunned to see that same Snapchat handle linked by French media to one of the menaccused in the brazen theftof high-value jewelry from the Louvre on Oct. 19.
"When we texted, I realized he was incredibly kind-hearted," Alla said. "That's why I was surprised to learn he was involved in the robbery."
Authorities have not confirmed the identity of the man in Alla’s video as one of the suspects currently in custody.
The brazen daytime robbery shook Paris on October 19, when a group of thieves broke into the Louvre Museum’s ApollonGallery and made off with eight culturally priceless pieces of the French crown jewels.
The thieves arrived shortly after the museum opened and used a mechanical lift to access a first-floor window overlooking the Seine. Two of them forced entry by cutting through the window with power tools, threatened guards to force them out, and then used the tools to smash the glass of two display cases in the gallery, according to French investigators.
The thieves remained inside the museum for approximately four minutes before fleeing on scooters waiting for them outside, investigators said. One piece of stolen jewelry, a tiara that belonged to Empress Eugenie, was found dropped in the escape route.
The audacious crime has prompted serious questions about the degree of security at one of the world's most famous museums.Seven people have so far been arrested in connection with the theft.
