\u201cTerry Bradley\u2019s art is a cherished part of our community, and it\u2019s disheartening to see such acts occur.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge anyone who may have information about this theft to contact the police.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s stand together to protect and celebrate the art that enriches our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Terry also shared a video of himself standing proudly beside the artwork when it was installed, but instead, there are now blank cases.<\/p>\n

A note at the kiosk states: \u201cSadly, the display cabinets are empty as someone has stolen some of our Terry Bradley prints.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis 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\u2019s waterfront.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you see any suspicious behaviour, please report it to Belfast Harbour Police who monitor the area on 028 90553000.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is not the first time Terry Bradley\u2019s artwork has been targeted by thieves \u2014 in 2016 pieces valued at \u00a350,000 were stolen from a pop-up gallery in Belfast city centre.<\/p>\n

At the time, the artist\u2019s wife Ashley said they believed thieves gained access after one hid in the gallery overnight and added that Mr Bradley was \u201cdevastated\u201d by the thefts.<\/p>\n

It was estimated that between 80 and 100 pieces of art were taken including original canvases worth up to \u00a310,000.<\/p>\n

A year later, police discovered seven of the paintings, along with a \u201csignificant quantity\u201d of ammunition, during a search of a house in west Belfast.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh 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,\u201d said a Facebook post.<\/p>\n

In 2018 five Terry Bradley art paintings were among items stolen in a burglary at a home in the Knockbreda Park area of Belfast.<\/p>\n
