LOS ANGELES – A Rembrandt drawing stolen from a Los Angeles-area hotel has been recovered at a church in nearby Encino, authorities said yesterday.
The owners of the drawing, known as The Judgment, verified that the recovered 28cm by 41cm pen-and-ink artwork, which is valued at about $250,000, was indeed the original that had vanished from an exhibit on Saturday night, said Steve Whitmore, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Police Department.
An anonymous tip led investigators to the church on Monday. – (Reuters)
