Details of the Latest Arrests A pair of males, aged 38 and 39, and two women, 31 and 40 years of age, were taken into custody this Tuesday. All are from the greater Paris area. Among them is believed to be the remaining individual of a group of four that is said to have performed the broad-daylight robbery, as reported by French media. The remaining trio suspected thieves have already been arrested and indicted, authorities state. Investigators currently possess as much as 96 hours to conduct interviews. Not a single clue has yet been uncovered of the pilfered gems - valued at 88 million euros (76 million pounds; 102 million dollars) - which were taken on 19 October. Prior Charges and Rejections A group of four have already been charged concerning the theft - three men and a woman, who similarly reside within the Paris region. A woman in her late thirties was formally accused earlier in the month with aiding organized theft and illegal conspiracy with a view to committing a crime. In a distinct case, a man, aged 37, was indicted for theft and criminal conspiracy. These two suspects, who remain unnamed in public records, have rejected all accusations. The Method of the Robbery Was Executed The heist happened when the group of four men utilized a stolen mechanical lift attached to a vehicle to breach the Galerie d'Apollon through a terrace close to the River Seine. The men used a circular saw to crack open showcases which held the precious items. The perpetrators stayed inside for four minutes and fled the scene on a pair of scooters stationed outside at 09:38, before switching to cars. One of the stolen items - an imperial crown - was lost during the getaway but eight more objects of precious ornaments - such as a necklace with emeralds and diamonds that was gifted by Napoleon I his second wife, the Empress Marie-Louise - were appropriated. Security Deficiencies and Aftermath It has been stated that the theft was performed by petty criminals instead of sophisticated criminal organizations. Shortly after the theft, it was disclosed by the museum's director that the only camera observing the Galerie d'Apollon was pointing away from the terrace used by the perpetrators to commit the burglary. The president of the Louvre has later confessed that the establishment had not fulfilled in its responsibilities, but denied that security had been overlooked - emphasizing that from the beginning of her tenure in the year 2021 she had been consistently alerting of the necessity of increased funding. Improved Protective Steps Since the incident, protective protocols have been tightened around the nation's cultural landmarks. Officials have relocated some of its most precious jewels to the national bank after the theft.
