A crew of crooks who spent two decades swiping millions of dollars in cherished art and sports memorabilia — including nine of famed Yankee Yogi Berra’s World Series rings — has finally been busted…
The gang of 10 thieves — who struck small museums in a series of heists between 1999 and 2019 — was eventually nailed thanks in part to blood left on shards of glass at the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, NY, federal prosecutors said this week.
“It’s like losing a child,” said Charles Barber, director of the Everhart Museum in Scranton, Pa., where the Warhol print “Le Grande Passion” and Pollack’s “Springs Winter” were stolen in 2005,“There’s a pain of loss. But now that they’ve identified the nine suspects in this case, it sort of gets a degree of closure.”“We would love to be able to host an exhibit that’s called: ‘Art once stolen, but now returned,’ ” Barber said.
The next year, they allegedly stole five trophies valued at more than $400,000 from the National Racing Museum & Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, NY.
