Last week, a nearly 250-pound bronze Buddha statue worth $1.5 million was stolen from a Los Angeles gallery.

The statue is from Japan’s Edo Period of 1603-1867

Police were called Monday morning over the burglary at the Barakat Gallery on North La Cienega Boulevard in Hollywood on Monday.

According to the surveillance footage, the statue was taken at 3:45 a.m. that morning.

“The thief broke into the entrance through a driveway gate and used a dolly to move the statue onto a truck within 25 minutes, officials said,” NBC Los Angeles reports. More
