Six historic paintings stolen from Medemblik's former town hall were delivered to art investigator Arthur Brand, NOS reported. The recovered group included portraits of William of Orange and the Frisian king Radbod. Their combined value was estimated at about €100,000. This report records the recovery of the paintings, rather than the later recovery of other objects taken in the same burglary.
