Five new suspects have been arrested in connection with the theft of precious crown jewels from the Louvre museum earlier this month. The arrests were made on Wednesday night in the Paris region, and a main suspect was among those taken into custody. The theft, which occurred on October 19, saw four thieves break into the museum in broad daylight and make off with items worth €88m. Two men have partially admitted their involvement in the heist, and DNA from one of those arrested has been linked to the crime scene. The authorities believe that the gang involved may be larger than initially thought, and the new suspects can be detained for four days before being charged or released.

The Paris prosecutor has stated that none of the French crown jewels stolen in the brazen daytime robbery of the Louvre Museum have been located 10 days after the heist. Two suspects have been formally charged with armed robbery and conspiracy to commit a crime. The jewels, valued at $102 million, are considered national treasures and date back hundreds of years. Experts believe the stolen jewelry may have already been broken down into their component parts, greatly diminishing their value. The investigation is ongoing, with dozens of detectives on the case, and authorities have not ruled out the possibility of a larger criminal gang being involved.

The Louvre Museum in Paris was the site of a daring jewel heist on October 19, where thieves made off with over $100 million worth of jewels in broad daylight. The thieves, who posed as workmen, used a stolen truck-mounted electric ladder to reach the second floor and broke into the Apollo Gallery using specialized tools. The heist was characterized by careful planning, but the thieves ultimately left a trail of evidence that led to the arrest of two suspects. The museum's security failures, including outdated perimeter cameras and a lack of artificial intelligence to monitor them, were criticized. The incident has left the country reeling and raised questions about the museum's security measures.
