Drug Addict Sentenced for Hiding Yale Art


It’s a rare occasion when we get to write heroin and Yale University in the same sentence.

This past May, Bruno Nestir, a heroin addict, was asked to hide some paintings stolen from Yale University. In exchange for his storage services, Nestir accepted heroin instead of money. According to the Boston Globe, Nestir “pleaded guilty to a larceny charge after police found the stolen paintings in his New Haven home during a 2009 raid.” Nestir has been sentenced to three years in prison.
