Accused man returns $1 million of stolen coins, cash
[Posted April 28th, 2009]The attorney for the man authorities say is the leader of a multimillion-dollar burglary ring has turned over more than $1 million in stolen coins and cash to Franklin County prosecutors.
Sam Shamansky, a Columbus lawyer, gave prosecutors rare coins, silver ingots, gold coins and a $1,000 bill on behalf of his client Kenneth Koon, said Prosecutor Ron O’Brien.
Koon, of 539 Hilltonia Ave., is charged with 12 felonies that include burglary, theft, receiving stolen property and safecracking. He is believed to have stolen $2 million and has been in custody since December.
O’Brien thinks the coins came from a 1,500-pound safe police say the ring stole from Robert C. Talbott of Shire Cove Road in December 2007. That was part of more than a year-long spree of stealing in Hilliard and the Northwest Side by the band of 10 thieves.
