Two additional suspects have been charged in the theft at the Louvre Museum last month. 88m worth of jewels were taken. The two charged, a 38-year-old woman and a 37-year-old man, denied any involvement. The female is still in custody while the male is in a pre-trail dentation, which means his fate is still being decided. The two thieves arrested earlier later admitted to their involvement in the case and a fourth has not been caught.
The thefts used a mechanical lift to gain access to the gallery and used a disk cutter to crack open the display. They dropped a crown during their escape, but the other jewels have not been found. Security wasn’t that great at the gallery, but they were not able to get away with it since high tech cameras caught all the footage of them entering the museum in construction costumes. After that, the police were hot on their trail, and the French public was helping as well.
Since the incident, security measures have been tightened around the Louvre and some of their most precious jewels have been transferred to the Bank of France.
