Mercer Island Police are seeking help in the Oct. 25 theft of seven pieces of art, valued at about $70,000, from a home in the 4600 block of East Mercer Way.
The artwork consists of five paintings, a photograph and a piece of glasswork that were on consignment from a local art dealer, said the police department.
