France arrests five new suspects over Louvre heist

French police have arrested five more people, including a prime suspect, over this month's daring Louvre museum robbery, the Paris prosecutor said on Thursday. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said the five suspects detained on Wednesday included a main suspect whose DNA linked him to the brazen seven-minute heist, though none of the loot had been found.

Two suspects detained on Saturday were charged on Wednesday evening with theft and criminal conspiracy after they "partially admitted to the charges", according to prosecutors. They were placed in pre-trial detention.
