Paintings worth ‘hundreds of millions’ stolen in heist

Thieves yesterday broke into a Rotterdam museum and walked off with works from the likes of Picasso, Monet, Gauguin, and Matisse potentially worth hundreds of millions of euro.

Police have not said how they pulled it off, but an expert who tracks stolen art said the robbers knew what they were after.

“Those thieves got one hell of a haul,” said Chris Marinello, who directs the Art Loss Register.
