Three Men Sentenced for Historic Celtic Coin Heist

Three men are now in prison. They stole gold coins from a museum in Germany. The court gave them sentences up to eleven years long.

The court in Ingolstadt said it was a gang robbery. One man was not guilty of the museum theft. But he was guilty of other thefts made by the group.

The men were caught some months after the break-in. It happened on November 22, 2022, in Manching. They stole 483 Celtic coins found in 1999.

The coins were found during an old dig in Manching. They also found some gold at that time. Officials said it was the biggest Celtic gold found in the 1900s.

Most of the stolen gold is still missing now. Police found gold on one man when he was caught. The police think he melted some of the stolen treasure.
