The prints had been on display at Native Coffee on Queens Quay beside the banks of the River Lagan.
On Terry’s social media posts, it was revealed: “!!STOLEN BRADLEYS!! We’re saddened to share that several pieces of Terry Bradley’s artwork have been stolen from the coffee kiosk at @maritimemile, home to @nativecoffeeni, in Belfast. The police have been informed, and we are cooperating fully with their investigation.

“Terry Bradley’s art is a cherished part of our community, and it’s disheartening to see such acts occur.
“We urge anyone who may have information about this theft to contact the police.
“Let’s stand together to protect and celebrate the art that enriches our lives.”
Terry also shared a video of himself standing proudly beside the artwork when it was installed, but instead, there are now blank cases.
A note at the kiosk states: “Sadly, the display cabinets are empty as someone has stolen some of our Terry Bradley prints.
“This kiosk, which is owned by the charity Maritime Belfast Trust and operated by a young start-up business Native Coffee, has quickly become a landmark and community hub for Belfast’s waterfront.
“As a charity, we are committed to delivering a safe and vibrant waterfront for the enjoyment of everyone and despite this setback, we will continue to do so.
“If you see any suspicious behaviour, please report it to Belfast Harbour Police who monitor the area on 028 90553000.”

It is not the first time Terry Bradley’s artwork has been targeted by thieves — in 2016 pieces valued at £50,000 were stolen from a pop-up gallery in Belfast city centre.
At the time, the artist’s wife Ashley said they believed thieves gained access after one hid in the gallery overnight and added that Mr Bradley was “devastated” by the thefts.
It was estimated that between 80 and 100 pieces of art were taken including original canvases worth up to £10,000.

A year later, police discovered seven of the paintings, along with a “significant quantity” of ammunition, during a search of a house in west Belfast.

Terry Bradley Art posted on social media afterwards that it was “delighted” the pieces had been recovered.
“Oh Wow! So delighted to be collecting 7 of the pieces that were stolen in the robbery at Christmas! Huge thanks to the PSNI for all their help, hopefully, the rest will turn up soon,” said a Facebook post.
In 2018 five Terry Bradley art paintings were among items stolen in a burglary at a home in the Knockbreda Park area of Belfast.
