A spokesperson with the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland the FBI carried out a search warrant and found the sculptures at the couple’s homes in Baltimore. The FBI said in the court documents it was deliberating pressing charges for theft and transportation of stolen goods.

The larger of the stolen sculptures is a piece of artwork by Robert Wyland called “Kiss the Sea,” which the FBI estimates is worth $6,200. The other sculpture recovered is “Tappin’ the Keys for the Love” by Marcus Glenn, worth some $6,600, the FBI says. Both pieces are small enough to fit in a regular-sized backpack.
