The art belonged to Monroe County Community School Corporation students. Most of the stolen pieces of art were made of clay, but at least one stained-glass lamp was taken.
The report was made by a security staffer at about 11:17 a.m. A small window on the West Fourth Street side of the building was cracked open by roughly two inches, which might have been how the suspect gained entry to the building, Qualters said.
Surveillance video showed a man coming to the center at about 4:03 a.m. The suspect is described as a thin, white man possibly in his mid-20s wearing a khaki hat, khaki pants and a dark jacket with dark hair and a dark beard, Qualters said. The suspect appeared to deliberately select what pieces of art he stole, according to the video.
