EASTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — Police have arrested a Massachusetts woman they say stole an $850 painting from a local gallery.

The Daily Hampshire Gazette reports that Carrie Hague, of Easthampton, was arrested Sunday and charged with larceny from a building.

Easthampton police responded Sunday to a report of a stolen painting at the Nash Gallery. Police say the John Gnatek painting of a local ice cream parlor was valued at $850.

Investigators used surveillance video to identify a witness, and that witness led police to Hague’s home. Police say they recovered the painting from her home.

An arraignment is scheduled for Monday in Northampton District Court. It could not be determined if she has a lawyer.
