🔗 Share this article Another Four Apprehensions Carried Out in Connection to Paris Louvre Museum Jewellery Robbery A further quartet of suspects are now under arrest as part of the active inquiry into the last month's theft of valuable jewelry at the Paris Louvre, according to the Parisian legal officials. Specifics of the Latest Detentions Two male suspects, aged 38 and 39, and two female individuals, 31 and 40 years of age, faced apprehension earlier this week. All are from the Paris region. One of those detained is considered as the final member of a four-man gang that reportedly executed the broad-daylight robbery, per media sources in France. The remaining trio accused perpetrators are already in custody and charged, officials say. Police now have a maximum of four days to conduct interviews. No trace has to date been discovered of the stolen jewels - worth an estimated eighty-eight million euros - which were stolen on October 19th. Prior Accusations and Disavowals A group of four have already been charged in relation to the robbery - a trio of males and one female, who also live in the Parisian area. A woman in her late thirties was formally accused earlier in the month with involvement in organized robbery and conspiracy to commit crimes aimed at perpetrating an offense. In a distinct case, one male suspect, 37 years old, was charged with theft and criminal conspiracy. These two suspects, who have not been named publicly, have disavowed any participation. The Way the Theft Was Carried Out The robbery occurred when the team of four individuals employed a hijacked vehicle with a mounted lift to gain access to the Galerie d'Apollon (Gallery of Apollo) by means of a balcony close to the River Seine. The perpetrators employed a circular saw to crack open display cases which held the precious items. The thieves were inside for a mere four minutes and made their escape on two scooters stationed outside at 9:38 AM, before transferring to automobiles. A single pilfered object - an imperial crown - was lost during the getaway but eight additional pieces of jewelry - such as a necklace with emeralds and diamonds that Napoleon I gave his second spouse, Empress Marie-Louise - were stolen. Protective Shortcomings and Fallout It has been stated that the theft was performed by small-time offenders rather than sophisticated criminal organizations. Soon following the robbery, it was revealed by the Louvre's director that the only camera watching the Apollo Gallery was facing opposite the terrace used by the perpetrators to break in. Louvre leadership has since admitted that the institution had fallen short in its obligations, but rejected claims that security was neglected - stating that from the time she took office in two thousand twenty-one she had been repeatedly cautioning of the necessity of increased funding. Enhanced Protective Steps Following the event, protective protocols have been strengthened for the nation's cultural landmarks. Officials have relocated some of its most precious jewels to the national bank after the theft.
