Thief swapped out price tags at Lake Worth Art Gallery

Thief stole art from Lake Worth Gallery

Gary Kroman is a Palm Beach County artist who sells his work in a boutique downtown. On Aug. 10, Kroman said a man entered the business on 700 block of Lake Avenue in Lake Worth Beach and switched price tags from his gallery.

Now, Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office deputies are in the hunt for the suspect. They said the thief took $6,500 worth of Kroman’s artwork and only paid about $50.

“It feels like someone punched you in the stomach and the air went out of you," stated Kroman. "It took a lot time to do, it’s an important piece.” [WPTV]

This YouTube has terrible audio from Mr. Kroman but you will get the idea of what happened to him and photo of thief.

Lake Worth has always been a very sketchy crime filled City it just is a big Norco town and so much crime lawlessness and chaos a lot from the illegal immigrants but a lot from all of the homeless and the low-income druggies that are all there in that City lake Worth has gone down the tubes it used to be good maybe 50 years ago or a hundred years ago, but not today it's just a big slum!
