Two thieves steal 4 paintings from Rouen Museum

Two thieves stole four paintings worth 9 million euros from the Rouen Museum in the French city of Cagnes-sur-Mer, but they had to leave two paintings behind as they fled, according to the mayor. The incident was detected by surveillance cameras, and the police were called, arriving within five minutes of the theft. This theft comes nearly a year after a major heist at the Louvre Museum in Paris, where thieves stole jewelry valued at $102 million. These events highlight the increasing concern of French authorities to protect museums and the rising number of robberies targeting cultural institutions.
