Art Heist: Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse Paintings Stolen

0:00It's March 30, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Vancouver News today, Local News Powered by AI. These pulled off a slick art heist at the Manani Roca Foundation near Parma in Northern Italy, snatching paintings by Renoir, Cezanne, and Matisse, worth over $14 million Canadian dollars. Four masked men busted through the main door on the night of March 22, grabbed the pieces and vanished through the gardens and overlay, fenced in under three minutes flat. The foundation called it a hit to everyone's cultural heritage, and they're teaming up with Italy's Carabinieri R Protection Unit to track down the pros who dodged most of the alarms. These works include Renoir's 1917 fish, valued at nearly $10 million Canadian dollars alone, Cezanne's rare watercolor still life with, cherries from around 1890, and Matisse's 1922 Odalisque on the terrace. This raid joins a string of bold European scores, like last fall's Lou Vergeurigrab worth over $100 million US dollars as cops hunt for.
