Fitzwilliam Museum art theft: Man and teenager charged

A man and a boy have been charged with conspiracy to commit burglary over a break-in and theft of Chinese artefacts from Cambridge's Fitzwilliam Museum.

Patrick Kiely, 28, and a 15-year-old youth, both from London, are due to appear before Cambridge Magistrates' Court later.

Eighteen artefacts, thought to be worth in excess of £18m, were taken from the museum during a break-in on 13 April.

The items of Chinese art were taken from the museum's permanent collection.
