Two Auguste Renoir paintings stolen from the Renoir Museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer, France, in September have been recovered, and six suspects have been arrested. The theft, which involved cutting through a fence and smashing a window, is part of a recent wave of high-profile art robberies in Europe.
French authorities have arrested at least five individuals in connection with the September theft of two paintings from the Renoir Museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer. While two other stolen works were recovered, the missing pieces, 'Portrait of Madame Colonna Romano' and 'Jeune fille au puits', remain unaccounted for. Local media suggest the suspects may belong to an organized criminal gang, though prosecutors have not confirmed the arrests.
