Prosecutors in Norway indicted six people for participating in the theft of Edward Munch masterpieces "The Scream" and "Madonna."

In August 2004, masked gunmen took the famous paintings from the Munch Museum in Oslo in broad daylight. The pieces are still missing, despite an extensive search and a $300,000 reward for their recovery, reports The Associated Press.

Five of the six people indicted will be tried for stealing the painting while the sixth will go on trial for receiving stolen goods, said state's attorney Oslo Terje Nyboe.

Four versions of "The Scream" are in existence. Art experts say that both stolen paintings are too well known to be put on the market for sale, reports the AP.

The trial is expected to start in mid-February and last about four weeks, says Nyboe. The five indicted for the theft face 17 years in prison if convicted, while the sixth person faces six years.
