During the heist at Biblioteca Mário de Andrade on 7 December last year, two thieves overpowered a security guard and an elderly couple who had been visiting the library, before making off with the artworks through the main entrance on foot.

The police did release a video of the March heist captured by cameras inside its target, the Magnani-Rocca Foundation, a private art museum outside Parma, northern Italy.
