Art Crimes: Lowry Robbery

LS Lowry's "The Viaduct", a pencil sketch of "The Surgery", and the artist's palette and brushes were taken among other works in a morning home invasion robbery on May 2nd of last year, in which three men held a couple and their two year old daughter at knifepoint. Greater Manchester Police have now charged Casey Miller, and questioned three other men about the crime, according to the BBC. When the robbery occurred, DS Tony Cook said, "These burglars appear to have known exactly what they were looking for. They must have known Mr. Aird was an art collector and that he would have the paintings in the house." The stolen works are still at large.
