Five Held as Garden Clue Emerges in French Museum Art Theft

Five people have been detained as part of an investigation into the theft of paintings from the Renoir Museum in southern France.

A source familiar with the investigation reported the detentions on Wednesday.

The museum is in Cagnes-sur-Mer, a town on the French Riviera.

Two paintings in a garden have emerged as a new lead in the case, though their connection to the theft remains unclear.
