Thieves steal four Renoir paintings from museum on French Riviera in most recent European art heist

Art thieves in Europe are committing more violent robberies and specialist gangs have been replaced by ad hoc ​opportunists recruited through social media, pan-European police body Europol said.

Police officers patrol in front of the entrance of the Musee Renoir after four paintings, together valued at nine million euros, were stolen in an early-morning break-in, with two recovered in the museum's garden and two still missing, in Cagnes-sur-Mer on September 8, 2026.
