GOOD NEWS! Munch's works recovered from thieves

Stolen Munch art found in Norway

Norwegian police have recovered three works by artist Edvard Munch in Oslo, the day after they were stolen.

The pieces, worth an estimated $320,000 (£166,000), were taken from Refnes Gods Hotel, near the southern city of Moss.

The two lithographic prints and one watercolour were taken from the hotel's collection of seven Munch works.

Police said they made several arrests in connection with the heist, but did not yet know if it was linked to last year's theft of Munch's The Scream.
