Five new suspects have been arrested over the theft of France’s crown jewels from the Louvre museum, the Paris prosecutor announced Thursday.
Among them is a suspect believed to have been part of the four-man gang who carried out the heist, Laure Beccuau told French radio RTL.
Beccuau said the investigation had not yet uncovered any of the looted treasures.
The arrests took place Wednesday night in Paris and in the surrounding region, including in Seine-Saint-Denis.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
