5 more suspects arrested over Louvre jewel heist

Five more suspects have been arrested in connection to the the Oct. 19 jewel heist at the Louvre museum in Paris, according to Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau.

The arrests took place on Wednesday in the Seine-Saint-Denis region in the suburbs of Paris though French authorities have not yet named any of the suspects.

Beccuau, who was speaking on French radio station RTL, said that the stolen jewelry has still not been found but that police believe one of the suspects arrested in yesterday's raid could be a major person of interest due to his DNA being found at the scene of the crime.

The fresh arrests bring to seven the total number of people detained related to the heist. Two other people -- both men in their 30s and from the Paris suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis -- were arrested last weekend.
