Four more arrested in Louvre heist probe

French police arrested four further suspects as part of the investigation into the audacious Louvre jewel heist last month, Reuters writes, referring to Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau’s statement.

The suspects are two men aged 38 and 39 and two women aged 31 and 40, and were being interrogated by police, the statement said.

It did not disclose what role the four are suspected of playing in the daylight robbery.

As noted, the total number of suspects has reached eight.

The authorities do not say how many stolen exhibits have been returned or saved.

According to the publication, French law enforcement officials only state that the investigation is under way, and there may be new arrests or interesting discoveries.
