Thieves Take Four Paintings in France
Four paintings were stolen from the Renoir Museum in southern France by two well-equipped thieves. The attackers entered the museum at dawn through the gardens, cutting through the fence with an electric saw, demonstrating they were well-prepared. During their escape, they dropped one of the paintings. Despite police arriving within five minutes, the thieves managed to reach the ground floor, which houses 12 artworks, and cut the frames of Renoir's paintings. This incident is considered one of the most notable modern museum thefts and has prompted the authorities of Cagnes-sur-Mer to strengthen security measures to protect cultural heritage from violent and sophisticated thefts.
