Man Charged for Lowry Art Theft

MANCHESTER, England—23-year-old Casey Miller has been charged with the theft of several L. S. Lowry paintings, estimated to be worth up to £1 million ($1.95 million) from art collector Ivan Aird's home in Manchester, England, reports the BBC. Last May, Miller tied up and threatened Aird and his family while robbing their home, leaving with five artworks and Lowry's palette and brush.

The paintings have not yet been retrieved, and a £70,000 reward is being offered to anyone who provides information on their whereabouts. Three other men arrested in connection to the robbery have been released without charge.
