The Paris prosecutor says five more people have been arrested in the investigation into the theft of crown jewels from the Louvre Museum. The jewels are still missing.

The men who stole France’s crown jewels cut corners—mistakes that led authorities to track down three suspected thieves.

French authorities have been searching for a group of at least four thieves who were seen heisting precious jewels from the Louvre on Oct. 19.

French senators have acknowledged that the Louvre's security is outdated and needs urgent upgrades. On Tuesday, a delegation visited the museum following a recent heist where thieves stole jewels worth 88 million euros in under eight minutes.

The Count of Paris, whose great-grandmother once wore the sapphire tiara stolen from the Louvre Museum, has pleaded with the robbers to return the stolen jewels intact for the sake of France's heritage - and for his family.

As a deadline fast approaches to either charge to release two suspects in the $102 million Louvre jewel heist, the president of France's Senate Culture Committee said the museum is "not up to standard" for guarding it against other bandits.
