£1,500,000 Art Robbery on Dulwich Gallery The world's biggest-ever picture Haul: The world's biggest art robbery was made by a gang who snatched paintings worth more than £1,500,000 from Dulwich College Picture Gallery in London early today. Eight paintings were stolen which included the gallery's three famous Rembrandts "Girl at a Window". "Portrait of Titus" and "Portrait of Jacob de Geyne", also known as "Portrait of a Young Man". Three of the other paintings were by Rubens. The raiders broke in during the early hours this morning by removing a panel of an unused doo and by-passing the gallery's electric burglar alarm system. Scotland Yard launched a country-wide hunt for the art gang. Photo shows Det-Supt. Charles Hewitt give an on the spot press conference about the robbery to journalists
