Investigators believe some of the sports memorabilia had been melted down, including nine of Berra's 10 World Series rings, U.S. Attorney Gerard M. Karam said at a news conference.
Major League Baseball, the New York Yankees, and New York Mets along with donors replaced the items, but they are not the originals worn by Yogi Berra. The suspects apparently visited each location and came back to break in and steal priceless memorabilia.
Eight of the nine people named as part of the theft ring Thursday have turned themselves in, Karam said. At least five had already entered into preliminary plea agreements on charges including theft of major artwork and conspiracy to dispose of major objects of cultural heritage, according to court records. The suspects are in their late 40s to early 50s and are Pennsylvania residents.
Court documents also allege that Dombeck destroyed a painting by Jasper Cropsey by burning it, to avoid the stolen artwork titled "Upper Hudson" from being used as evidence against him. Some of the thefts happened nearly 20 years ago including the 2005 theft from the Everhart Museum in Scranton, where the thieves shattered a glass door in the back of the building. They stole a 1949 oil-on-canvas painting by Jackson Pollock, "Springs Winter," then worth an estimated $11.6 million and a silkscreen by Andy Warhol titled "Le Grande Passion" then worth an estimated $15,000.
