Art theft updates

A Picasso painting which went missing from the Pompidou Centre in Paris has been recovered by police.

Following a tip-off, police traced the painting - worth 2.5m euros (£1.7m) - to a house in Paris where the painting was hidden behind a wardrobe.

Cubist painting Nature Morte a la Charlotte, completed in 1924, was reported missing in May last year from a restoration workshop.

From the BBC, which also is reporting:
Norwegian police have arrested and charged a man over the theft of Edvard Munch's masterpieces The Scream and the Madonna.

Police say they are optimistic they will now recover the works.

AND NOW a second suspect has been arrested.
