Five new arrests have been made in the investigation into the Louvre jewellery heist, the prosecutor for Paris has said.
French radio station RTL reported the arrests on Thursday, following an interview with Laure Beccuau.
The Paris prosecutor's department shared the interview on social media with the caption: "Louvre Burglary: Five New Suspects Apprehended."
In the interview, Ms Beccuau said one of the five suspects who were arrested in the Paris area late Wednesday was connected to the case using DNA evidence, but she added that it was "too early" to comment further on the suspects' identities.
It comes after the prosecutor said two suspects arrested over the jewellery heist had "partially" confessed to their involvement in the robbery.
Four thieves stole nine items - one of which was dropped and recovered at the scene - in a heist pulled off while the world-famous Paris museum was open to visitors on 19 October.

It took the thieves less than eight minutes to steal the jewels. They forced open a window and cut into cases with power tools after gaining access via a vehicle-mounted mechanical lift.
Ms Beccuau said on Wednesday that the jewels had not yet been recovered.
"These jewels are now, of course, unsellable," she said. "Anyone who buys them would be guilty of concealment of stolen goods. It's still time to give them back."
