Nine people have been indicted for charges regarding the thefts of millions of dollars worth of art and sports memorabilia, including nine World Series rings awarded to New York Yankees legend Yogi Berra.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced the charges Thursday. The thefts occurred at multiple locations over a span of more than 20 years, and the suspects are Pennsylvania residents between the ages of 45 and 53.

Eight suspects have turned themselves in, while the ninth, 53-year-old Nicholas Dombek, is a fugitive, ESPN reported.

The attorney's office reported that the charges involved stolen sports memorabilia including nine World Series rings, seven other championship rings and two MVP plaques, which were taken in 2014 from the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center in Little Falls, New Jersey, as well as the Hickok Belt and MVP Trophy awarded to Roger Maris, which were stolen in 2016 from the Roger Maris Museum in Fargo, North Dakota.
