Police found the 30-year-old native of New Jersey in the period c 6 June to 1 July robbed five galleries and two hotels totaling 500 thousand dollars . The style of crime was about the same as in the gallery Weinstein: Lugo just came and saw the work and went with it under his arm.
found during a search among the products was another Picasso etching, " Sculptor and two heads "(1933) $ 350 thousand dollars, stolen from the William Bennett Gallery in Soho on June 27. gallery director William Ledford (William Ledford) identified the loss.
It seems that the former Sommelier Mark Lugo just like good art, and pay for it do not want to. The work is not looked as if they were to sell or exhibit, the man even hung up the work of Picasso above the bed, so, apparently, it has to admire.
