He noticed them missing a month earlier, but hadn’t checked in on them since 2014, police sources said.
Cops say the paintings that are all landscapes by artists David Johnson, Jasper Francis Cropsey, Thomas Moran and Thomas Cole, are worth about $1.7 million. (NYPD)
The paintings, all landscapes by artists David Johnson, Jasper Francis Cropsey, Thomas Moran and Thomas Cole, are worth about $1.7 million, cops said.
The security firm Iron Mountain acquired Crozier, which owns several storage facilities, in 2015.
Crozier, in turn, acquired the Bayard St. facility, from Cirkers in January 2017.
Iron Mountain spokesman Christian Potts said the NYPD notified the company of the theft last month.
“Crozier is working cooperatively with the NYPD on the investigation, and is committed to determining the status of the alleged missing items,” he said.
