Romanian police have arrested the men who tried to sell a stolen Florentine painting to undercover officers, the Associated Press reports.

The €2.5 million ($3.15 million) painting, Madonna with Child, Two Saints, Two Angels, was stolen from a private collection in Vienna. The thieves took the work, along with a second painting by Ferdinand Georg Waldmueller worth €1 million ($1.26 million), to the Romanian city of Brasov in the trunk of a car. The Madonna, done around 1400 by a Florentine school painter, was slightly damaged, said Codrut Olaru, head of Romania's anti-organized crime police.

A Romanian and two Hungarian men were arrested and charged with theft in Brasov when they tried to sell the more valuable painting for €5,000 ($6,300). Police recovered the two works as well as 30 other stolen items, all of which will be returned to their owners.
