Four more individuals have been arrested in connection with the $102 million jewel heist at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The suspects, two men and two women, are from the Paris region and are believed to be involved in the October 19 theft. The robbery
involved a commando-style operation where thieves used a freight lift to access the museum and made off with valuable jewels, including items linked to historical figures such as Empress Eugénie and Napoleon.
Why It's Important?
The arrests bring attention to the security challenges faced by major cultural institutions like the Louvre.
