In another church-related burglary investigation, law-enforcement officials continue to search for thieves who stole a charcoal drawing of Warner Sallman’s “Head of Christ” from First Covenant Church in Omaha, Nebraska. http://www.covchurch.org/cov/news/item5514
That incident may be connected to five other art thefts from Omaha churches and has drawn national and international attention. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Police Department, and the international law enforcement agency Interpol are working together on the investigation, according to a local newspaper.
