Police gave chase, but the pair escaped.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring their flight, they abandoned one of the stolen paintings,\u201d\nMasson said.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities did not immediately identify the three works that\nremained missing.<\/p>\n<p>The museum occupies the former home and studio of French\nImpressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who spent the final years\nof his life in Cagnes-sur-Mer. The property is surrounded by gardens and\nolive trees.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s behind recent art thefts?<\/p>\n<p>The EU\u2019s law enforcement agency Europol says typically non-violent\nspecialist gangs are increasingly being replaced by more opportunistic\ngroups, sometimes assembled through social media.<\/p>\n<p>Europol said the groups were driven by the low-risk, high-profit\npotential of museum heists.<\/p>\n<p>High prices for precious metals, gemstones and other easily resold\nvaluables have also made museums attractive targets.<\/p>\n<p>Recent thefts have involved more brazen tactics, including the use of\nforce or threats. The Louvre theft in Paris last year, in which \u20ac88\nmillion worth of jewels were stolen, was cited by Europol as an example\nof the trend.<\/p>\n<p>Read: Trump Threatens to Block Bombardier Planes From US Market<\/p>\n<p>Click here to get the latest news updates from Tempo on Google\nNews<\/p>",
