A brazen thief removed a painting from the wall of a York bar, rolled it up, put it in his jacket and walked off with it.
Now police have released an image of a man they want to talk to in connection with the crime.
It happened on 16 September in Dusk on New Street.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “It is believed that a woman who was with a group of people, used her mobile phone to take a photo of the incident.
“We are also appealing to anyone who may have been offered the artwork for sale or knows where it is now to contact us.
“Please contact us if you recognise the man pictured or have any other information that could assist our investigation.”
