Society offers award after theft from The Breakers

The Preservation Society of Newport County is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the recovery of eight small objects stolen from The Breakers, the Vanderbilt historic house.

The Newport police are investigating the theft on Saturday morning of a glass vase, three silver vases, a clock, a candelabrum and two small decorative objects – a brass caryatid casting by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney and an obelisk, according to the society.

The items are valued at $70,000.
