A 6 foot 4 portrait of Steve McQueen has been stolen from Belfast's newest hotel.
Police are hunting for two pensioners who were spotted leaving the Bullitt bar with the image on Sunday night.
One of the women who's thought to be in her 60s had a walking aid.
The other was wearing a zebra print jacket.
The photograph of Steve McQueen was later recovered on Donegal Quay with some damage.
It's been returned back to the bar.
Michael Sullivan, general manager, Bullitt Belfast said:
“We’ve had many comments about the Steve McQueen artwork since opening Bullitt Belfast at the weekend and we’re glad that it has been safely returned.
“It wasn’t quite the Great Escape it’s been billed as though; the unlikely perpetrators were foiled in their attempts when they couldn’t fit the painting in their vehicle. We are most grateful for the vigilance of our neighbours at Tedfords Kitchen for their assistance in returning the painting.
“If anyone has any information, we would encourage them to contact the PSNI at Lisburn Road, Belfast.”
