Sweden: Swedish Royal Jewellery stolen last year found in a bin with “BOMB” written on it
NordenBladet – The Swedish royal jewellery that was stolen in July last year has been recovered. The two crowns and an orb were found in a bin in a suburb north of Stockholm with the word “BOMB” written on it.
A security guard who spotted the bin found the funeral regalia of King Karl IX. The regalia was taken in a smash-and-grab attack on 31 July 2018 from the cathedral in Strängnäs, which gained worldwide media attention. The discovery has stopped the trial of a 22-year-old man who was arrested on 12 September and has been in custody for several months. The suspect has admitted to stealing the bicycle and boat used in the theft but denies any involvement in stealing the treasures.
The trial will resume on Friday 15 February with new investigative measures, including a technical examination of the returned regalia. Authorities will also try to determine how the jewellery ended up in the bin and who put them there.
