French police arrest four new suspects over Louvre jewel heist
Authorities arrested four more suspects from the Paris region as part of ongoing investigations into the $102 million theft of French crown jewels from the Louvre.
- On Tuesday, Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau announced four more people—two men and two women from the Paris region—were detained in connection with the Louvre crown-jewels robbery.
- Using a truck-mounted ladder, the burglars accessed an upper-floor window of the Apollo Gallery on October 19 and broke into two high-security display cases, stealing nine items.
- Investigating magistrates filed preliminary charges after October arrests; three men face organized-robbery charges and a woman faces complicity, while BFMTV reported one detainee may be the alleged fourth member.
- The new suspects join four other people detained in late October who will be questioned by investigators, while Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau did not specify their suspected roles.
- The stolen collection includes historic pieces tied to Napoleon and 19th-century queens, such as Napoleon's diamond-and-emerald necklace given to Empress Marie-Louise, and Empress Eugénie's pearl-and-diamond tiara; the missing loot has not been recovered amid the ongoing probe.
