Five more people have been arrested in the Louvre heist case, the Paris prosecutor said Thursday, after two alleged members of the group that stole jewels from the museum were charged.

Authorities linked one of the new individuals detained to DNA found at the museum, Laure Beccuau told RTL radio. The necklaces, tiaras and earrings that were stolen still haven’t been found, she added.
