Maid A Suspect in Art Theft


LA Police have put out a world-wide bulletin regarding the theft of a dozen valuable artworks, and are offering $200,000 for information about the theft.

From the Washington Post:

A dozen valuable paintings including works by Marc Chagall, Diego Rivera and Emil Nolde were stolen from the home of an elderly couple, and police issued an international alert to recover them. A $200,000 reward was offered Tuesday for help in recovering the artwork, stolen Aug. 23 from a home in the San Fernando Valley. …Detectives have interviewed the maid, who has worked for the couple several years, and several other domestic helpers. No arrests have been made.

LA Detective Donald Hrycyk said “the thief or thieves will likely find the artworks difficult to sell as they have all been reported stolen in New York’s Art Loss Register, as well as FBI and Interpol stolen art files.”
