Stolen paintings found in car park

SWISS police said yesterday they had found two stolen paintings — one Monet and a van Gogh — of the four that were stolen last week from a gallery in Zurich.

The two paintings, estimated to be worth 70 million Swiss francs (€44m), were recovered on Monday in the back seat of a car parked at a psychiatric hospital in the city, Zurich police said in a statement.

They are in a good condition with their glass covering still intact.
