đŸ”— Share this article Four Detentions Carried Out in Link to Paris Louvre Museum Jewellery Theft Another four suspects are now under arrest in the context of the active inquiry into the last month's robbery of valuable jewelry at the Louvre Museum, as stated by the French judicial authorities. Particulars of the Latest Apprehensions A pair of males, aged 38 and 39, and two women, in their early thirties and forties, were taken into custody this Tuesday. They all reside in the Paris region. One of those detained is thought to be the final member of a group of four that is said to have performed the daylight heist, per media sources in France. The additional three accused perpetrators were previously detained and charged, according to officials. Police now have as much as 96 hours to interrogate the suspects. Not a single clue has to date been discovered of the stolen jewels - worth an estimated €88m (£76m; $102m) - which disappeared on the nineteenth of October. Prior Indictments and Disavowals Four individuals have already been indicted in relation to the robbery - three men and a woman, who are likewise residents of the Paris region. A woman in her late thirties was formally accused earlier in the month with complicity in organised theft and criminal conspiracy intended to carry out unlawful acts. In a distinct case, one male suspect, 37 years old, was accused of robbery and illegal conspiracy. These two suspects, who have not been named publicly, have disavowed any participation. The Method of the Robbery Took Place The heist happened when the team of four individuals utilized a stolen mechanical lift attached to a vehicle to gain access to the Galerie d'Apollon through a terrace near the Seine River. The perpetrators employed a cutting disc to force open display cases which held the precious items. The thieves were inside for just 240 seconds and executed their getaway on two scooters positioned externally at 9:38 AM, before switching to cars. One of the stolen items - a crown - was dropped during the escape but eight other items of jewelry - such as a necklace with emeralds and diamonds that Napoleon I gave his second wife, the Empress Marie-Louise - were appropriated. Security Failures and Consequences Officials have revealed that the heist was carried out by petty criminals rather than organised crime professionals. Shortly after the theft, it was disclosed by the museum's director that the sole surveillance camera monitoring the Galerie d'Apollon was facing opposite the balcony scaled by the robbers to gain entry. Louvre leadership has since admitted that the museum had failed in its duties, but denied that security had been overlooked - saying that from the time she took office in two thousand twenty-one she had been repeatedly cautioning of the need for more investment. Enhanced Protective Steps In the wake of the robbery, safeguarding procedures have been tightened around France's cultural institutions. Officials have relocated numerous highly prized jewelry items to the Bank of France following the heist.
