Artnews TIRANA (AFP).- Albanian police on Wednesday seized more than 1,000 stolen icons and other religious works of art dating back to the 15th century. The icons, frescoes and other pieces of art were stolen from Orthodox churches in various towns across southern Albania and neighbouring Macedonia, the Albanian ministry of culture said in a statement. Two people were arrested following a police operation in the capital Tirana. The art was found in the houses of the two arrested suspects. It is believed that they were planning to sell the items in Western Europe. artdaily/news/65509/Albanian-police-seize-over-1-000-stolen-pieces-of-art--Two-people-were-arrested
