Thieves steal four Renoir works, worth millions, from a French museum

Thieves successfully stole multiple works by artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir from a museum located in Cagnes-sur-Mer on the French Riviera. The incident involved a police pursuit during which the perpetrators were able to flee the scene with the stolen property. While initial reports indicated four works were taken, subsequent accounts clarify that one painting was recovered after being dropped by the suspects during their escape, leaving three works in the possession of the thieves.

The stolen collection is estimated to be worth millions of pounds, with one valuation placing the total loss at approximately £7.7 million. Authorities are currently investigating the theft, which occurred at the site dedicated to the renowned impressionist painter.
