Part 2: High Dollar Antique Heist

Priceless antiques were swiped from homes in the Spring Hill area of Mobile and Gulf Shores. Now, the loot has been found and a prominent Mobilian named Matt Walker has been arrested.

Walker is well known in real estate circles and high society. His last known address is in West Mobile but the News 5 Investigative team has yet to track him down.

According to investigators, Walker would prey on the wealthy trying to sell their homes. He would reportedly get inside the house by acting as if he wanted to buy it. When the homeowners were out of town, someone would burglarize and take their heirlooms.

So far, investigators haven't been able to place Walker at the burglaries but they did find loot at some his homes.

A rough estimate of the items recovered is 750,000 dollars including silver that was once presented to then Senator John F. Kennedy from President Dwight Eisenhower.

Corporal Keith Miller with the Mobile County Sheriff's Office says there's even more loot out-of-state! "There's not a big market locally which is why our investigation has lead us to various dealers in New Orleans, D.C. and Tennessee."

Walker was arrested on October 22nd on 3 counts of receiving stolen property. He got out on bond the same day.

His next court appearance is scheduled for Thursday November 5th.
