Fifth suspect held over theft of Munch masterpieces
Norwegian police have arrested a fifth suspect in the theft of Edvard Munch’s masterpieces The Scream and Madonna and said they may be closer to recovering the priceless paintings.
A man in his 20s was arrested in Oslo yesterday, and is suspected of being one of three armed robbers who snatched the paintings from an Oslo museum in a brazen daytime raid last August, police spokesman Morten Hojem Ervik said.
