On Monday police recovered the 20 paintings stolen in an armed raid by
four men on the York City Art Gallery in January. These included a Turner
watercolour and were reportedly valued at over 1 million pounds (though
not insured - following the policy of the York City Council which owns and
runs the Gallery).
On Tuesday two men were charged with offences relating to the raid: one
with taking part in the raid itself and a second with handling stolen
goods.
