$12m Pollock Painting Stolen

Artworks by Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol have been stolen from a museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania in the early hours of Friday morning. The 1949 Pollock oil painting, Springs Winter, was on loan from a private collector and is estimated to be worth about $11.6 million (£6.7m). Thieves broke a glass door at the back of the Everhart Museum, officials said. Surveillance cameras were not working at the time of the robbery and police said they had no immediate leads.
