3 Stolen Francis Bacon Paintings Recovered by Police in Spain
Spanish police announced the recovery of three of five stolen paintings by Francis Bacon on Thursday.
Five Bacon paintings valued at more than 25 million euros ($29 million) along with a safe with jewels and coins were taken from a Madrid residence in July 2015.
The works were stolen from a friend of Bacon while he was away in London.
Ten people have been arrested in the case so far. The theft began to unravel after a Barcelona resident contacted a British firm that specializes in stolen art with photos of the missing Bacons.
