Jun 25, 2019 | 12:06 PM

VANCOUVER — A pair of unusual armchairs valued at about $40,000 each were taken from a high-end furniture store and Vancouver police are asking for the public’s help in finding them.

Police say the chairs were taken during a 3 a.m. break-in at the Lloyd Bruce Home Collections store on May 13.

The deco-style, off-white chairs designed by Roberto Cavalli have gold coloured metal arms shaped like snakes.

Two male thieves were involved and police say they left in a white, Ford F-150 pickup.

Investigators say it’s clear the suspects targeted that particular store specifically to take the chairs.
