Two thieves steal four paintings from the Renoir Museum valued at 9 million

Two thieves broke into the Renoir Museum located on the French Riviera during the early hours of Tuesday and stole four paintings valued at nine million euros. The mayor of Cagnes-sur-Mer, where the museum is situated, confirmed the incident in a Facebook post, stating that the police had spotted and chased the suspects but they managed to escape. One of the stolen paintings fell during the chase. According to Europol, art thefts in Europe have become increasingly violent, with organized gangs being replaced by opportunistic individuals recruited through social media. The recent robbery at the Louvre Museum in Paris last October was cited as an example, where thieves threatened staff and visitors and stole jewelry worth 88 million euros.
