Two more people were charged on Saturday in the brazen burglary at the Louvre Museum last month, the Paris prosecutor said.

The two suspects were handed preliminary charges for their alleged involvement in the theft of crown jewels from the Louvre, three days after they were arrested by police as part of a sweeping investigation into the heist, the prosecutor, Laure Beccuau, said in a statement.

Beccuau said a 37-year-old suspect was charged with participation in theft by an organized gang and criminal conspiracy. The other, a 38-year-old woman, is accused of being an accomplice. Further details are yet to be made public.
