Stolen Lowrys recovered

Picture: Liverpool Echo
A cache of Lowrys stolen in 2007 during an armed raid on a dealer have been recovered in Liverpool. One of the pictures was Tanker Entering the Tyne, thought to be worth £600,000. Perhaps inevitably, drugs seem to have been involved. It seems there's a fad amongst some drug dealers to use art as 'collateral' when making large deals. Full details here.
