![]() ![]() ![]() Powell, of Kirby Lane, Newport Davies, of Cardiff Road, Pontypridd Wells, of Newport Road, Cardiff and Wicks, of Hawks Road, Hailsham, East Sussex, are due to be sentenced on Friday.Īdjourning the case for a hearing on Friday, Judge Nicholas Cartwright said: “I am not going to admit George Powell bail, he’s going to be sentenced for theft of items worth millions of pounds and is facing a very long sentence of imprisonment and in addition to that there will inevitably be a confiscation process. “They must be concealed in one or more places or, by now, having been concealed, have been dispersed, never to be reassembled as a hoard of such coinage again.” Prosecuting barrister Kevin Hegarty QC told jurors the remainder of the hoard had not been located. Inside ‘UK version of Tutankhamun’s tomb’ found near pub and an Aldiįive of the coins are examples of the exceptionally rare Two Emperors penny, valued at up to £50,000 apiece, and so-called as they depict King Alfred and a lesser known monarch, Ceolwulf II, who reigned in the old kingdom of Mercia, sitting together. ![]()
