In the latest news, the police in the United States are on a manhunt for a daring thief who managed to smuggle a valuable sculpture worth £17,000 out of an art gallery. The incident occurred at the Duncan McClellan Gallery in St Petersburg, Florida and was captured on the gallery's security camera.
According to reports from 7 News Miami, the St Petersburg Police have released the footage in hopes that someone will recognize the culprit. The footage shows the man and his accomplice, who can also be seen in the video, walking into the gallery on November 11 last year.
While the accomplice distracted a staff member, the man nonchalantly picked up a piece called Torso XI by Latchezar Boyadjiev, which is valued at $21,000. He then proceeded to cleverly tuck it into his shorts, hidden from view.
