A police sting netted three men who were arrested for their connection to an armed robbery at the Archaeological Museum of Olympia in Greece last February.
In Patras, close to Ancient Olympia, the three suspects were taken into custody after they tried to sell a golden seal-ring dating from the late Bronze Age, about 3,200 years ago, for €1 million ($1.3 million).
All 76 artifacts stolen from the museum by two masked robbers were discovered buried in a field 2 miles from the museum on Friday.
