University of Maryland Police released footage on Tuesday of three people of interest in connection with a Jan. 25 art theft.

University police spokeswoman Sgt. Roseanne Hoaas says a painting was taken from the University College building in College Park. Inside the building there is an art gallery.

Authorities say the missing painting was found the next day at the University House building where school events typically take place.

Hoaas says it is unclear if the suspects have any affiliation with the school.
