Artifacts, the so-called funeral regalia, which lay inside or on top of the coffin, symbolizing the identity of the deceased and social status, were stolen last year from the Cathedral, west of Stockholm. According to police, the crown and power of Charles IX, as well as the crown of his wife Christina, disappeared.
Police said on Tuesday that a guard found jewelry worth a total of 65 million crowns (over $ 7 million) in the garbage can at around one in the morning. They were taken for examination to determine their authenticity.
“Everything indicates that the stolen funeral regalia of Charles IX was found in the Stockholm area, but police are working hard to confirm this 100 percent,” the police statement said.
This discovery interrupted the 22-year-old Swedish citizen trial, which is currently on trial for stealing artifacts. He was arrested in September 2018.
The suspect confessed to stealing a bicycle and a boat that had been used by the captors of regalia, but denied any involvement in the theft of valuables. Nothing is known about his accomplices.
The thieves escaped from the crime scene in a motorboat using the extensive lake system in the vicinity. The police sent a helicopter and a boat to look for thieves, but did not make any arrests.
Most of the royal jewels of Sweden are kept in vaults under the Royal Castle in Stockholm, but some funeral regalia are located in the cathedrals of Strangnas, Uppsala and Västerås.
Charles IX was the son of one of the most eminent Swedish monarchs, Gustav Vasa. After his death in 1611, he was buried in the Strangnes Cathedral. King's wife, Christina, died 14 years later.
