Viking hoard thief Layton Davies jailed for five more years

His accomplice’s request to appeal his sentence was refused, and Davies failed to pay back the money he owed.

Debbie Price, deputy chief prosecutor of the Crown Prosecution Service’s proceeds of crime division, said: “Greed led Layton Davies to ignore his duty to report the found treasure and instead sell it for his own benefit.

“An experienced detectorist, Davies would have known he was entitled to half of the proceeds of legal sale of the treasure, instead choosing to deprive the landowner and public by stealing this exceptional and significant treasure.”

Between 2018 to 2023, more than £480m has been recovered from CPS-obtained confiscation orders, with £105m returned to victims of crime.
