Here is the mayor of Cagnes-sur-Mer, Bryan Masson’s statement in full, translated from French:<\/p>\n
“This morning, two individuals broke into the Renoir Museum and stole four works of art. <\/p>\n
“The museum’s alarm was triggered at 5:48 a.m. At 5:53 a.m, just five minutes later, our municipal police were on the scene. <\/p>\n
“Identified by the city’s CCTV cameras, the two individuals fled, abandoning one of the stolen paintings. <\/p>\n
“Since this morning, both the municipal and national police have been deployed to the site. <\/p>\n
“The perpetrators are being actively sought, and the investigation is ongoing. <\/p>\n
“Attacking the Renoir Museum is attacking a part of the history and heritage of #CagnesSurMer. These events are particularly serious. <\/p>\n
“They also confirm the urgent need to implement the comprehensive plan to secure our museums and protect our works of art, a plan to which I have committed. <\/p>\n
“We will dedicate all necessary resources to better protect this heritage, which belongs to all the residents of Cagnes.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Perpetrators being actively sought – mayorpublished at 08:46 BST 08:46 BSTBreaking Here is the mayor of Cagnes-sur-Mer, Bryan…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":609494,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46],"class_list":["post-609493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=609493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609493\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/609494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=609493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=609493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=609493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
