Men get prison time after stealing van loaded with 12 corpses POZNAN, Poland, May 28 (UPI) -- Three men who stole a van in Germany without knowing it was loaded with 12 corpses were sentenced to prison time in Poland. The Poznan, Poland, court was told the men, ages 25-27, stole the Mercedes Sprinter van from a parking lot in Hoppegarten, Germany, last October while the driver stopped to wash his hands on his way to delivering the load of corpses to a crematorium in Meissen, Germany, The Local.de reported Tuesday. The corpses were found about a week later in a forest near Poznan. They were intact and inside their coffins, police said. Police said they don't believe the men know what was inside the van when they took it. The judge said the men were sentenced only for the crime of car theft because they didn't know about the corpses when they took the vehicle. The men, whose names weren't released, were sentenced to two to four years in prison and were each ordered to pay a $5,148 fine.
