Pryimachenko paintings found
Police have found all seventy-seven Pryimachenko paintings stolen near the end of June from the well-known artist's home.
During the burglary her daughter-in-law and grandson were heavily beaten. Three suspects have been arrested for theft. Police workers say the three were hired by a private collector from Ukraine who has not yet been arrested. They say the plot was well thought out, lasting around two months and included use of listening devices. Each painting is worth ten thousand US dollars and none have ever been seen by the public. The Pryimachenko family says they are not going to keep paintings in their house anymore - they will donate half of them to a museum and keep the other half safely guarded elsewhere.
