Queensland police have arrested a man accused of staging a brazen cat burglary of priceless Egyptian artefacts from a museum in Caboolture, north of Brisbane.
The man, 52, of no fixed address, was arrested on Russell Island in Moreton Bay on Saturday evening, after police allegedly found most of the stolen artefacts in a camper van parked at a ferry terminal.
Another missing piece, a 2,600-year-old wooden cat sculpture from the 26th dynasty of ancient Egypt, was allegedly found in his possession.
