Trial Underway for Thieves of Stolen Golden Toilet from Blenheim Palace

A high-profile trial has commenced involving three men accused of the audacious theft of a golden toilet valued at £4.8 million from Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. Prosecutors described the incident as a meticulously planned raid, allowing the thieves to steal the solid gold lavatory in less than five minutes. Despite the dramatic theft, which included smashing a van through a window, the toilet itself has not been recovered.

The case has drawn significant media attention, highlighting the bizarre nature of the crime and raising questions about security at such historic locations.
