Pillage/Israel. 11 ancient burial boxes were recovered by Israeli Police on Friday, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced. The authority says the boxes were recovered last Friday in Jerusalem when police observed a suspicious nighttime transaction involving two cars, four individuals and the 11 boxes near a checkpoint on the outskirts of Jerusalem. Once police realized the boxes were of archaeological significance, they alerted the Antiquities Authority. It is not yet clear how the suspects got hold of the boxes. Two of the suspects are still being held and the others are under house arrest, according to the authority.
