At 05.55 on Friday morning, the Oslo police received a report of a burglary at a gallery in Trondheimsveien.
– Report that two people hit a gallery with an ax and a sledgehammer, the police wrote.
The two people must then have fled the scene on either scooters or light motorcycles, and they must have taken one picture with them.
– There were several people who called in about this incident. We are looking throughout Oslo, with all available crew, says operations manager Guro Sandnes.
She says that the police do not yet know the value of the picture, as they have not yet talked to the owner.

– We see this as being a burglary and a gross theft, the operations manager continues.
The police are now questioning witnesses on the spot. They also write that forensic technicians are on their way to the gallery to take over the investigation.

– One dressed in a yellow jacket, the other in a dark jacket, possibly a red and black helmet with a white stripe, the police write.
