Police hunt Llandudno art thieves

DETECTIVES investigating the theft of valuable paintings are appealing for information to track down the thieves.

The paintings, which are collectively worth hundreds of pounds, were stolen from a property in the Church Walks area of Llandudno.

A North Wales Police spokeswoman said the paintings were stolen sometime between late June and mid July.

He said: “All nine paintings are signed by the artist ‘Joan’ and have reference to the year they were painted.

“They include oil paintings called Fairy Glen, Evening Stream and Serenity which were all unframed.

“Two framed paintings of the sand dunes at Ballena, the laburnum arch at Bodnant Gardens and two further frames, which had three pictures within them – three of daffodils in one and a charcoal picture of Conwy Castle, the Little Orme and trees – were also taken along with pictures entitled Little Orme and Haulfre Gardens.

“Collectively, the paintings are worth £720.”

Police investigating the theft are appealing to anyone who has any information regarding the incident to contact them.

“We are also keen to speak to anyone who may have been offered the paintings for sale or who may know of their whereabouts,” the spokeswoman added.
