Police have released under judicial supervision a woman suspected of involvement in the daring daylight robbery at the Louvre Museum in France, the Paris prosecutor’s office said on Thursday.
The woman is among four people being investigated in connection with the robbery, whose perpetrators made off with historic jewelry worth $102 million from the museum’s Apollo Gallery, which houses the French crown jewels.
She will not be allowed to contact other suspects or leave France.

Two men parked a moving elevator outside the Louvre on a Sunday morning last month. They went up to the second floor, broke a window, opened shop windows with grinders and fled on scooters driven by two accomplices in a robbery that lasted less than seven minutes.
Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said earlier this month that investigators had so far arrested three men and a woman, the girlfriend of one of the robbery suspects.
So far, no trace of the stolen jewelry has been found.
