Po­lice have re­cov­ered the three swords stolen from the Ch­aguara­mas Mil­i­tary His­to­ry and Aero­space Mu­se­um (CMHAM) last month.

On April 16, CCTV cam­eras cap­tured four bare­back men steal­ing the swords from the mu­se­um.

They took a Japan­ese Katana, be­lieved to be from the World War I era or ear­li­er, val­ued at $6,600; a Japan­ese Wak­iza­shi short sword worth ap­prox­i­mate­ly $3,600; and a repli­ca sword with red be­tween the han­dles. The val­ue of the repli­ca was not pro­vid­ed.
