I'm so glad I got to see those works last year at the national gallery of victoria. Thieves get stupider every day. :|

Fark is down currently so I don't have a link, but it looks like the Dagbladet is not a reliable source. I would not get too worked up about it just yet.

For those with Link-o-phobia...

Munch masterpieces destroyed?
The Munch masterpieces "The Scream" and "Madonna" have been incinerated, according to newspaper Dagbladet, citing criminal sources and a top secret police report.

The paper claimed Thursday that the paintings were destroyed in order to get rid of damning evidence as the police investigation closes in on the culprits behind the robbery.

Investigation leader Iver Stensrud of the Oslo police said he had no knowledge of the supposedly secret report acknowledging the destruction of the paintings.

"This is completely unknown to Oslo police. I basically have no comment and normally we do not use Dagbladet as a reliable source here at the Oslo police," Stensrud told NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting).

Three people are in custody in connection with the Munch robbery, but none of them are linked to crime via technical evidence, and the pair that carried out the heist are considered to be at large.

Dagbladet cited both criminal and police sources in their reportage, and said that police expect new arrests in the case shortly.
So....only the Dagbladet knows about this?

I would think, until official confirmation from the authorities that this story should be viewed with big, heaping dose of skepticism.
