Thieves have blown open the door of an art gallery in the southern Netherlands and stolen two works from a famous series of screen prints by American pop artist Andy Warhol.

An art heist in the Netherlands was botched Friday when the thieves failed to secure all four prints in their getaway car.

The thieves were forced to leave two works by the iconic American pop artist behind after they failed to get them in their car in the Netherlands, according to the gallery's owner.
