Two suspects were arrested in connection with the kidnapping and rape of a nine-year-old girl in rural France.
Police said the men were driving a stolen car when they were arrested in Saumur village on Monday evening.
One of the men is suspected of raping both the child and a 73-year-old woman. DNA testing is now being done by the local police.
The child was kidnapped by a man in a Citroën car when she went to Villiers to buy bread on Sunday.
According to local media, the kidnapping sparked a major search that involved both gendarmes and local police officers from nearby Poitiers along with a search helicopter.
The girl was found shortly after she disappeared and taken to Poitiers University Hospital, where she is still being cared for.
