The three criminals have been arrested already and got eight years in prison for the robbery at most; however, the whereabouts of the pictures had been still unknown. The criminals commit robbery on the museum in broad daylight. They threatened the staffs with guns and robbed the two pictures while customers appreciate the museum. It was concerned to be sold to criminal organizations.
I am not so familiar with art, but I know the picture "The Scream". It is so famous picture somehow. When I was child, I enjoyed to imitate the person in the picture and make my friends laugh. I didn't know that such famous picture had stolen and been on the unknown way. I wonder how much the picture is.
