Decades-Long Theft Ring Targeted Art, Memorabilia Worth Millions

Federal authorities charged nine people with stealing valuable artwork, sports memorabilia, and other collectibles from museums and institutions over 20 years.
The stolen goods included nine of Yogi Berra’s 10 World Series rings, paintings by Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock, antique firearms, and other irreplaceable artifacts.
The thieves transported the stolen items to Pennsylvania, melted them down into gold and silver discs, and sold them for a fraction of their worth.
Some of the stolen memorabilia has been recovered, but the location of much of the loot, including Berra’s rings, remains unknown.
The long-running theft ring targeted at least 20 locations across multiple states before authorities were able to identify and charge the suspects.
