Three pieces were stolen from a larger glass sculpture at the Dale Chihuly exhibit at the Denver Botanic Gardens.

Brian Vogt, CEO of Denver Botanic Gardens, confirmed with 7NEWS that there was a break-in at the Chihuly Exhibit on Aug. 22, and that two spikes from a larger spire were stolen.

"I am outraged by crime in general, but theft of something so cherished by the public very much upsets me," said Vogt.

The spikes were orange and red in color and part of the "Cat Tails" piece.
