From WPRI.com: Oil painting stolen from art gallery
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (WPRI) - An oil painting was stolen from an art gallery in New Bedford on Friday.
Sometime between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. someone quietly walked into Crowell's Fine Art Galley and Fine Framing Studio on Acushnet Avenue in New Bedford and stole a painting off the front wall.
Police are now investigating the theft and are asking for anyone who may have seen the painting between the time of the robbery and now to contact the New Bedford Detectives Division.
The painting was done this year and is a 20-by-20-inch oil on canvas titled "The Fist, Adamsville, R.I." It's part of an exhibition by artist Evan Laporte; the exhibit is on display until January 31st of next year.
Police had no value for the stolen work of art, and calls to the gallery have gone unreturned; the gallery is closed on Sundays.
