Four more suspects have been arrested in connection with the October jewel heist at the Louvre Museum in Paris, bringing the total number of suspects in custody to eight. The Paris prosecutor announced the arrests of two men and two women, aged 31 to 40, but did not specify their alleged roles in the crime. The thieves stole $102 million worth of jewels from the Apollo Gallery, including pieces belonging to Empress Marie-Louise and other historical figures. Louvre director Laurence des Cars acknowledged security failures, noting a lack of external camera coverage and an unanticipated method of entry using disc cutters. The museum has since implemented stricter security measures following the broad daylight robbery. The stolen jewels have not yet been recovered.
