Four additional individuals are now under arrest as part of the ongoing investigation into the last month's robbery of valuable jewellery at the Louvre Museum, per reports from the French judicial authorities.

Particulars of the Latest Apprehensions

A pair of males, 38 and 39 years old, and two female individuals, in their early thirties and forties, faced apprehension earlier this week. Each hails from the greater Paris area.

One of those detained is considered as the final member of a quartet of thieves that reportedly executed the daylight heist, according to French media. The additional three suspected thieves are already in custody and indicted, officials say.

Law enforcement has been granted a maximum of four days to question them. Not a single clue has so far been found of the taken jewelry - appraised at €88m (£76m; $102m) - which were stolen on October 19th.

Earlier Indictments and Disavowals

A group of four have previously faced charges in relation to the robbery - a trio of males and one female, who also live in the Parisian area.

A 38-year-old woman was charged earlier this month with aiding organized theft and conspiracy to commit crimes intended to carry out unlawful acts.

Separately, one male suspect, 37 years old, was charged with theft and criminal conspiracy.

The pair of accused, who remain unnamed in public records, have disavowed any participation.

The Method of the Robbery Took Place

The theft took place when the team of four individuals utilized a stolen mechanical lift attached to a vehicle to gain access to the Galerie d'Apollon (Gallery of Apollo) via a balcony adjacent to the Seine.

The thieves utilized a circular saw to crack open showcases housing the jewellery.

The robbers remained within for a mere four minutes and executed their getaway on two motor scooters waiting outside at 9:38 AM, before switching to cars.

One of the stolen items - an imperial crown - was fallen in the flight but eight other items of jewellery - featuring an emerald and diamond necklace that Napoleon I gave his second wife, Marie-Louise of Austria - were stolen.

Protective Shortcomings and Fallout

Officials have revealed that the theft was performed by petty criminals as opposed to sophisticated criminal organizations.

In the immediate aftermath of the heist, it was disclosed by the museum's director that the sole surveillance camera observing the Galerie d'Apollon was directed away from the balcony scaled by the robbers to gain entry.

The museum's president has since admitted that the institution had fallen short in its responsibilities, but denied that security had been overlooked - saying that from the time she took office in the year 2021 she had been consistently alerting of the need for more investment.

Improved Protective Steps

Following the event, protective protocols have been tightened around the nation's cultural landmarks.

The museum has moved a selection of its most valuable gems to the French central bank following the heist.
