Overview
- Two men aged 38 and 39 and two women aged 31 and 40 from the Paris region were taken into custody, according to Prosecutor Laure Beccuau.
- French media report that one of those detained is the suspected fourth member of the team that raided the Apollo Gallery on October 19.
- Police can hold the new detainees for up to 96 hours for questioning, and prosecutors said charges will be detailed only after custody ends.
- Earlier arrests were aided by DNA traces recovered at the scene, which investigators say helped identify alleged perpetrators intercepted in late October.
- The stolen crown jewels remain unrecovered, though one crown was found abandoned and damaged, as scrutiny of the Louvre’s security has prompted planned upgrades.
