Two men have been sentenced for stealing a £4.8 million solid gold toilet from Blenheim Palace in a daring 2019 heist. The 18-carat artwork, which was stolen just hours after its launch event, was never recovered.

 

James Sheen admitted his involvement and was sentenced to four years, while Michael Jones was convicted and received a sentence of two years and three months.

The theft shocked the art world and continues to be a symbol of audacious crime.
