SAN DIEGO (AP) – Authorities say burglars have stolen jewelry and artwork worth more than $5 million including prints by Monet and Pissarro from a San Diego County home.
The Encinitas Sheriff’s Department sent a statement asking for the public’s help Tuesday in finding sculptures, jewel-encrusted necklaces, bracelets and 11 paintings that were stolen the night of June 17 or early on June 18 from a couple’s home in Rancho Santa Fe.
The Sherriff’s Department did not release the names of the victims.
Some of the jewelry is described as “very elaborate gold, tourmaline, cabochon, citrine necklaces and bracelets.” The loot also included a timepiece by Andreas von Zadora Gerlof and a painting by Mexican artist José María Velasco Gómez.
Authorities offered a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest.
