Paris: French police arrested four other persons on Tuesday as part of the investigation on the spectacular Louvre jewel heist last month, Paris prosecutor's office said in a statement.
The suspects are two men aged 38 and 39 and two women aged 31 and 40, the statement said.
Four other people were already arrested and placed under formal investigation on October 29 and November 1, it added.
The daylight robbery, in which four thieves made off with jewels worth $102 million, raised doubts over the credibility of the world's most-visited museum as a guardian for its myriad works.
So far, no trace has been found of the stolen jewels.
