Several pieces of artwork were reported stolen from a Southampton Village residence last week—the second art burglary reported this month in the village’s estate section, though Village Police detectives say a connection between the two thefts is not definitive at this point.
A caretaker at a First Neck Lane home notified Southampton Village Police last Wednesday, February 16, that someone had broken into the home sometime between noon on Monday, February 14, and noon on Wednesday, and stolen “numerous” paintings. Detective Sergeant Herman Lamison said this week the artwork is valued at about $20,000 so far and involves about nine paintings and lithographs, including works by Raymond F. Lawrence, Herbert Meyer, and Sir Edwin Lauser. Det. Sgt. Lamison said there are no suspects yet.
