A large collection of First Nations art valued at more than $60,000 was stolen in Saanich earlier this month, police announced Thursday.
The Saanich Police Department said in a statement that the art was removed from a residence in Gordon Head on April 2.
“The collection includes several pieces by First Nations artist Calvin Moreberg as well as Inuit carvings estimated to be over 60 years old,” the statement reads.
Pictures of a number of the pieces that were stolen were included in the news release. The police did not elaborate on how or at what time of day they believe the art was stolen, nor did they say why they waited for more than two weeks to appeal to the public for help in finding it.
Anyone who has seen the missing art pieces or has information related to the investigation should call Saanich police at 250-475-4321 or email [email protected], police said.
Saanich police provided images of several of the stolen art pieces in their release. (Saanich Police Department)
