Graham Gallon, 36, of Carrington Terrace, Rotherham, cut a hole in the floor of a museum. It is believed he used a litter picker tool to steal priceless artefacts.
A burglar who cut a hole in a museum floor before using a 'litter picker' to steal priceless artefacts has been jailed.
Staff at the museum say another small hole suggests an endoscope camera was pushed into the case to allow Gallon to identify what valuable silverware to steal. Appearing at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday, March 11, Gallon pleaded guilty to burglary and was jailed for two-and-a-half years.A silver man on horse sculpture that was part of the large haul of antique silver stolen from a display case
