French authorities have announced another arrest in connection with last month’s heist at the Louvre Museum.

Some shit you should know before you dig in:  If you’re unaware, last month a group of thieves pulled off a popcorn-worthy heist at the Louvre Museum, stealing an estimated $102 million worth of historic French crown jewels in under eight minutes. Disguised as workers in high-visibility vests, the four-person crew used a freight lift to access a window leading into the museum’s Apollo Gallery. Once inside, two of the suspects used angle grinders to cut into reinforced glass display cases, while the other two waited outside on scooters for a quick getaway. Among the stolen items were eight pieces of royal jewellery, including a diamond-and-emerald necklace once gifted by Napoleon I to Empress Marie-Louise and a pearl-and-diamond tiara linked to Empress Eugénie. Although a jeweled crown was dropped and later recovered outside the museum, the rest of the priceless haul remains missing.

What’s going on now: In a notable development, French police have arrested a 39-year-old man believed to be the final member of the four-person crew that executed the Louvre heist. He was taken into custody earlier this week at a construction site in Laval, a town in western France. Prosecutors say the man, already convicted six times for offenses including pimping and handling stolen goods, has now been charged with organized theft and criminal conspiracy.

The arrest completes the roundup of the suspected heist team, which also includes three men aged 35, 37, and 39, who were detained last month. Investigators believe two of them physically entered the Apollo Gallery while the other two acted as lookouts and getaway drivers. Additionally, a 38-year-old woman (the partner of one of the suspects) was arrested on suspicion of complicity but later released on bail. Prosecutors have described the group as small-time criminals rather than members of any organized crime syndicate, although the sophistication of the heist suggests outside help or higher-level coordination.

Officials are still actively investigating to determine each suspect’s exact role and, critically, to locate the missing jewels. The most pressing concern among investigators is that the stolen pieces may have already been broken apart so they can be resold more easily on the black market (a method often used to erase a jewel’s historical identity and make the individual stones easier to move). For example, if you cut a necklace into loose diamonds or emeralds, no one can trace them back to a stolen royal heirloom.
