Swedes arrest man tied to return of stolen royal jewels
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A prosecutor in Sweden says a man has been arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods in connection with the return of royal funeral artifacts that were stolen last year from a Swedish cathedral.
Prosecutor Isabelle Bjursten says the man was arrested Thursday, two days after the items, dating from 1611 and estimated to be worth 65 million kronor ($7.2 million), were found north of Stockholm.
Bjursten said Friday the man, who was not identified, is suspected of "being involved in the return of the precious regalia" that were found in a garbage container.
