It was reported that three suspects pried the door of the gallery open and, once inside, stole four pieces of art that were on display.

The total estimated value of the stolen art is nearly $266,000, according to CTV News — not quite as much as the $2 million stolen in Netflix's This Is A Robbery: The World's Biggest Art Heist, but significant nonetheless.

The suspects were last seen leaving the gallery and driving northbound in a grey Toyota Sienna minivan with no license plates, according to the police report.
