The two men behind the £4.8 million golden toilet theft at Blenheim Palace have been jailed.
James Sheen, 40, and Michael Jones, 39, received a four-year prison sentence and a 27-month prison sentence respectively.
The men were part of a gang of thieves that smashed their way in and ripped out a fully-functioning 18-carat gold toilet during a raid in 2019.
The heist took place hours after a glamorous launch party and the distinctive toilet was split up or melted down and sold on soon after it was stolen and has never been recovered.
The toilet was stolen during a five-minute by sledgehammer-wielding thieves who smashed their way in, Oxford Crown Court heard.
They drove through locked wooden gates into the grounds of the palace in two stolen vehicles before breaking in through a window.
