Three items from the Ming Dynasty estimated to be worth £3.5 million were stolen during the museum burglary.
Three men have been convicted after a £2 million vase stolen from a museum was recovered in a police sting operation.
Nkhwa, 47, of The Heights, Charlton, south London, and Wright, 26, of Heavitree Road, Woolwich, south London, were found guilty of one count of conspiracy to convert criminal property at Southwark Crown Court in London on Friday, the force said. “The organised crime group involved in this offending believed they could commit significant offences internationally and that there would be no comeback.
Nkhwa later gave the vase to undercover officers at a meeting in a central London hotel and was arrested, the Met Police said. Three items from the Ming Dynasty were stolen during the 2019 break-in, estimated to be worth £3.5 million.
