This in from the police, in their own words. Ed
Valuable paintings and prints worth around £20,000 were taken from a house in Love Lane, Bembridge on the Isle of Wight between April 20 and 21.
We’ve now managed to get hold of a picture of three of the 9 stolen pictures. It’s the best currently available. From left to right in the photo is a painting by Michelle Cadbury in a gilt frame worth around £4k, an oil abstract by Heath Hearn worth approx £3500 and a poster print of Modighano worth about £30.
The other paintings include ones by artists Jim Neville and Victoria Ashe. A photo of a fisherman by photographer Piers Bertwhistle worth around £500 was also taken.
It’s believed the burglars targeted the property for the pictures as nothing else was taken.
We’re appealing for anyone who knows the whereabouts of the paintings or has any information about the burglary to get in contact with the Isle of Wight CID office on 101 or alternatively they can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
