Police are searching for a woman who swiped $1,600 worth of paintings from Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City. The theft, which was carried off in the early afternoon of March 21, was caught on tape by a hospital security camera. Video footage indicated that the woman looked directly into a security camera, then brazenly removed a painting from a hospital hallway wall and carried the art into a nearby women's restroom. The woman then left the restroom to remove another painting from the wall and walked out of the hospital's north exit with both paintings. The art works, both privately owned by local artists, were on display at the hospital. The paintings — a landscape and a picture of "a dog looking upward," according to police — are valued at $800 each.
