Paris prosecutor announces four more arrests over Louvre heist

The thieves parked a moving truck with a ladder below the museum's Apollo Gallery housing the French crown jewels, ascended in a bucket, broke a window and used angle grinders to cut into glass display booths containing the treasures. Four people have already been arrested and charged over the theft - three men and a woman. One of those men, a 37-year-old, was in a couple with the woman and they have children, Beccuau said earlier this month.
