The priceless jewels of a Swedish crown were stolen yesterday, police said, adding that they chased the burglars who managed to make it with priceless royal jewels from a southeast cathedral before fleeing on a boat.

Police chase two thieves who fled in their boat after they grabbed two royal crowns dating back to the 17th century.

Residents in this quiet area, about 50 miles from the capital Stockholm, were suspicious about the behavior of two men who had stopped a small boat with a motor, and then rushed out and jumped into the boat and drove away.

The residents informed the police, which started a wide search for thieves.
