Santa Fe police Sgt. Jason Wagner says detectives recovered the drawing Thursday from a store in Raton, about 110 miles northeast of Santa Fe. He says the store is not suspected of being involved in the theft.
FBI spokesman Stephan Marshall says an agent received a tip Wednesday that a piece of art stolen from the home of a Santa Fe man had been acquired from the store. He says detectives then went to the store and found the Van Gogh drawing, as well as a large number of other artwork that also was taken in the $750,000 heist.
Police had estimated the drawing was worth about $200,000 but say the store was selling it for $250.
