Monaco police arrest four after weekend jewelry heist

Following the torching of a car and an armed robbery at a luxurious jewelry shop in Monte Carlo, four people aged between 20 and 25 have now been arrested. A fifth suspect is still being sought. The robbers carrying at least one firearm entered the shop on Saturday. They burned the vehicle in a nearby tunnel to distract the emergency services. Police temporarily closed the principality’s borders to prevent them from fleeing. Almost all of the stolen pieces of jewelry worth several million euro have now been recovered.
