Valuable painting by one of Leamington's most famous artists has gone missing after being left on a train

The hunt is on to find a painting worth tens of thousands of pounds, by one of Leamington's most famous artists, that was left on a train.

The painting is called ‘Blue Harbour’ and was painted in 1954 by artist Terry Frost.

British Transport Police are today releasing images of a painting that was taken after its owner left it on a train at Milton Keynes - but could have been taken as it went through Warwickshire.

A spokesperson for the British Transport Police said: "The painting was left on the train at around 4pm on Thursday January 23.

"The service its owner was on was travelling from London Euston to Crewe.

"It was wrapped in brown cardboard packaging. It is believed to have been removed from the train somewhere between Rugby and Crewe.

"Anyone with information about the missing painting is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40.

"In both cases, quote reference 2000009076.

"Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
