The Pima County Sheriff's Office is asking the public to help them find three stolen paintings, estimated to be worth around $50,000.

Officers first heard about the robbery after 6:30 p.m. July 10 after a report of a burglary at a residence in the 6900 block of North Chula Vista Reserve Place in Tucson.

Deputies learned the house had been broken into earlier that day.

Some of the items that were taken were three paintings by 16-year-old British artist Kieron Williamson. The three paintings were made when Williamson was nine years old: "City Temple," "Kelling Cottages," and "Thurne Mill."

The Pima County Sheriff's Office asks anyone with information to call 911. Officials say people can also submit an anonymous tip, with the potential for a reward, by text, phone or by going to 88-CRIME.org.
