Rembrandt Stolen From Scott Church Recovered
A Rembrandt painting stolen from televangelist Gene Scott’s University Cathedral in Los Angeles was recovered and one of two suspects in the case has been arrested, police said Wednesday.
The painting, worth an estimated $100,000, was taken Nov. 7 from the cathedral, said Detective Al Gonzales of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Central Station. Police arrested Kourosh Jadali, 35, at his Los Angeles home, where the painting was found. A second suspect is still being sought, Gonzales said.
“The church is, of course, pleased with the outstanding work of the FBI and the LAPD in recovering this very sacred art treasure for us,” said Ed Masrey, general counsel for the University Cathedral-Westcott Christian Center. The painting was stolen by two armed suspects.
