Police detain four more suspects in Louvre robbery

French police on Tuesday detained four more people as part of an investigation into last month's Louvre jewellery robbery, the Paris prosecutor's office said in a statement. They are two men, aged 38 and 39, and two women, aged 31 and 40.

Four other people had previously been arrested and formally charged on October 29 and November 1, the prosecutor's office added.

The daytime heist, in which four thieves made off with $102 million worth of jewellery, has raised questions about the credibility of the world's most visited museum.

The search is still on for the stolen jewels.
