Another work by Mondrian was removed from the gallery in one of the best-guarded areas of central Athens, but the thieves abandoned it as they fled. Museum officials were unable to estimate how much the stolen works were worth.

Police said the heist took about seven minutes. The thieves had intentionally set off alarms on several occasions since Sunday evening without actually entering the building, prompting guards to disable at least one — via redwolf.newsvine.com
