Daniel Jones of Historic England said, in a statement read in court, "The damage is irreparable."
"You undoubtedly felt that the chances of you being caught were rather slimmer than if you committed these offences elsewhere. The reality is the damage and theft was enormous. It must have been a terrible, terrible shock for them. Perry, of Wallshaw Street, Oldham, had since wracked up 'huge debts' and was using his ill-gotten gains to furnish his flat, Mr Neale said. He was jailed for four years after pleading guilty to conspiracy to steal, as well as driving while disqualified and handling stolen goods.
Lipinski, also of Gale Court, Rochdale, was sentenced to 15 months in prison, suspended for two years, and was ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work and complete 20 rehabilitation activity requirement days.
