Stolen medals returned to National Army Museum
21 October 2008
The 96 medals, including nine Victoria Crosses, two George Crosses and an Albert Medal, had been stolen from the Waiōuru museum early on the morning of 2 December 2007. The VCs included those awarded to reginald judson, keith elliott and henry laurent.
The police recovered them at 2008 after two businessmen offered a $300,000 reward for their return. Auckland lawyer Chris Comeskey brokered their return and the thieves reportedly received some money.
