Four more people were arrested Tuesday in connection with the Oct. 19 heist at the Louvre Museum , Paris prosecutors announced.
All four — two men, aged 38 and 39, and two women, 31 and 40 — are from the Paris region, Laure Beccuau, a prosecutor for the city, said in a statement.
With the new arrests, a total of eight people are now facing charges in connection with the case. Three men and one woman had already been charged with organized theft and criminal conspiracy to commit crimes and offenses, according to the statement.
Last month, the group allegedly duped security systems and used power tools in broad daylight to steal millions in jewelry from the famed Paris museum. They ultimately made off with invaluable jewels once worn by France’s queens and empresses, officials told NBC
