The Paris prosecutor is reporting four more arrests in connection with the jewel heist at the Louvre Museum in October.

Two men and two women from the Paris region were taken into custody on Tuesday morning.

The haul, valued at around £77 million, has not been recovered.

It includes a diamond and emerald necklace Napoleon gave to Empress Marie-Louise, jewels tied to 19th-century Queens Marie-Amelie and Hortense, and Empress Eugenie’s pearl and diamond tiara.
