Trio found guilty of stealing Munch's Scream - World - Times Online

Good news, bad news. Good: The perpetrators of The Scream art theft from Norway's museum in Oslo (August 2004) have been sentenced to prison and ordered to pay 750 million kroner (£67 million). Bad: The whereabouts of Norway's tour de force artwork, The Scream by Eduard Munch, is still at large. Despite a nationwide search, the painting has never been found.

"Police believe that the brazen daylight robbery was ordered by a notorious crime boss to distract investigators from another multimillion-pound raid in which a policeman was killed."
