On September 25 around 2am, three individuals broke through the glass doors of Carlton Fine Arts, walking away with a framed lithograph print of Chagall’s “Eve” (1971). Two of the three suspects, 59-year-old Carlton Smith and 61-year-old Larry Nestman, were arrested on December 17 and released shortly thereafter due to the non-violent nature of the crime.
