REDWOOD CITY - Police are searching for a woman who swiped $1,600 worth of
paintings from Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City.

The theft, which was carried off in the early afternoon of March 21, was
caught on tape by a hospital security camera.


Video footage indicated that the woman looked directly into a security
camera, then brazenly removed a painting from a hospital hallway wall and
carried the art into a nearby women's restroom.


The woman then left the bathroom to remove another painting from the wall
and walked out of the hospital's north exit with both paintings.


The artwork, both privately owned by local artists, were on display at the
hospital. The paintings - a landscape and painting of "a dog looking
upward," according to police - are valued at $800 each.


Anyone with information about the crime is asked to contact Redwood City
Police at (650) 780-7100.
