(CNN) – Belgian police have found stolen paintings by Picasso and Chagall in a basement in the city of Antwerp, local authorities said on Tuesday, adding that the artworks were still in good condition.
The paintings “Tête” by Picasso and “L'homme en prière” by Chagall were stolen from an art collector in Tel Aviv, Israel in 2010 and are valued at $900,000.

Jewelry worth $680,000 was also stolen at the time of the robbery, but only the paintings were found.
Local police launched an investigation when a source informed them that a Belgian citizen was offering both works of art for sale.
The local prosecutor said the main suspect had been arrested.
