Madrid: Twenty-eight art works, including a few by Pablo Picasso, which were stolen last month from near Madrid have been found, officials said. The art works are valued at 2.7 million euros (USD 3.5 million).
Among the works stolen was a sculpture by Eduardo Chillida worth 800,000 euros (USD 1 million), as well as pieces by Fernando Botero, Pablo Picasso, Antoni Tapies and Julio Gonzalez.
The art pieces that were on a truck were stolen Nov 27 from a warehouse in the Madrid suburb of Getafe, where security cameras filmed three hooded men stealing the vehicle. The truck was found empty a few days later.
The pieces were lent by galleries in Madrid and Barcelona to a gallery in Cologne, Germany.
The art was on its way back to the Spanish galleries at the time of the robbery.
