Four more suspects detained over Louvre jewel heist

Four more people suspected of involvement in the robbery of the French crown jewels from the Louvre have been detained, the Paris prosecutor's office told CNN Tuesday.

Two men, aged 38 and 39, and two women, aged 31 and 40, all from the Paris region, were detained by police as part of the investigation into the heist, according to a statement from Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau.

The new suspects join four other suspects detained in late October who will be questioned by investigators, said the prosecutor – who has not yet released further details about possible charges.
