Cops are investigating whether a grafitti artist busted yesterday for vandalizing the Brooklyn Bridge swiped an expensive Calvin Klein poster from a Manhattan art gallery, police sources said.
Enno Tianen, 32, of Queens was arrested about 1 p.m. for allegedly spraypainting the tag tag “LEWY” on the midspan part of the bridge on June 25, cops said.
Sergeant Kevin Cooper and Detective Nino Navarra, who work in the transit bureau, recognized Tianen’s tag from his previous arrests, and collared him, authorities said.
Police are eyeing whether he is responsible for stealing the poster, valued at $100,000 from an art gallery at 40 West 23rd Street in August 2011.
He was charged with criminal mischief, making graffiti, criminal trespass and possession of a grafitti instrument for the Brooklyn Bridge incident.
It cost $8,000 to repair and clean the New York City icon, cops added.
