Oak Park police are investigating a case involving thousands of dollars in stolen fine art.
An Oak Park resident contacted police after learning that someone had falsely signed for two FedEx packages being delivered to their home on Linden Avenue before stealing the items inside. One package reportedly contained two paintings that had been shipped from Amsterdam, while the other contained silver medallions, according to police.
The total value of the stolen goods is estimated at $11,107, according to police. The theft occurred shortly after 1 p.m. Feb. 9, according to police.
