The gallery told police their suspect was a tall and very slim Eastern European man, who came into the gallery with an associate. Described as having very pock-marked skin, short, dark, slightly greying hair, he was wearing a pin-striped suit. The man is apparently known to other dealers in the area and he may be responsible for other recent London thefts.
