Two policemen of Scotland Yard’s Arts and Antiquity Unit delivered personally to the Greek Embassy of London six pictures of Saints that have been stolen. They were found at Richard Deble’s Gallery in London. When Mr. Deble was questioned by the English policemen, he claimed that he had bought the pictures from some Greek individuals and he didn’t know that they were stolen.
The stolen pictures were : “The Presentation of Christ”, from the Monastery of the Assumption at the Vussiko Kalouta in Ioannina, “Saint George”, dated on the 18th century and stolen from the Holy Apostles Church in Pilion, “Saint Peter and Saint Paul”, from Saint Tryfon Church in Ioannina, “The HVM LEADER”, a picture from the 17th century stolen from Saint Nicolas Church in Ioannina, “The Epiphany”, from the Holy Apostles Church in Pillion and “The Birth of Christ”, stolen in 1824 from Saint Tryphon Church in Ioannina.
