UK police have busted a gang of major art thieves. “For four years the audacious burglaries at some of Britain’s best-known stately homes in Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Worcestershire have embarrassed police and left leading insurers in the art world smarting from multimillion-pound payouts for antiques, curios and paintings from leading collections. More than 100 police officers from five forces were involved in the raids and 14 people seized.”
