Video: Footage released of Damien Hirst art theft CCTV footage released by the Metropolitan Police shows the thief battling to open the front door of an art gallery in the Notting Hill area of West London in the early hours of December 9. The individual eventually gains access to the Exhibitionist Gallery in Blenheim Crescent and quickly makes off with two of Damien Hirst's spot paintings hanging on the wall - "Pyronin Y," worth £15,000 and "Oleoylsarcosine," worth £18,000. It is believed the works were specifically targeted. The thief then flees with the haul in a dark-coloured hatchback car. The manager of the gallery, Nathan Engelbrecht, told The Telegraph the alarm in the gallery was on but did not go off. Source: ITN / Metropolitan Police
