2 arrested after $500K of memorabilia stolen from Gretzky's father's home
Two people have been arrested in connection with the $500,000 worth of Wayne Gretzky memorabilia taken from his father Walter Gretzky's home, Brantford Police Services announced Tuesday.
The Ontario Provincial Police and Royal Canadian Mounted Police were involved in the investigation as well.
The Gretzky family contacted police in August after realizing several valuable artifacts from The Great One's career went missing. The three-month investigation concluded the memorabilia was sold to various collectors across Canada.
Multiple game-used sticks, hockey gloves, pants, jerseys, and a Player of the Year award were recovered and returned.
The investigation is currently ongoing. The police charged a 58-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman, both from Ontario.
