British police have arrested a man in connection with the theft of artefacts worth over £1 million ($1.37 million), including the gold rosary beads of Mary, Queen of Scots, stolen from Arundel Castle earlier this year.
On Tuesday, Sussex police announced in a statement that a 45-year-old man had been arrested in Eckington, Worcestershire on suspicion of burglary. The suspect remains in custody for questioning.
A treasure trove of “valuable items of irreplaceable historical significance” was robbed from the landmark in the raid, which took place late on the evening of May 21. Among the stolen artefacts were seven gold/silver-gilt coronation cups, as well as the rosary beads Mary, Queen of Scots carried to her execution.
