The fifth man to be arrested over the theft of Chinese art worth up to £40m from a Cambridge museum has been released from his bail without charge.

The 24-year-old, of Dartford, had been arrested in May over the theft from the Fitzwilliam Museum on 13 April. Chinese art from several dynasties was taken.

Two men aged 28 and 25, and a 15-year-old boy have been charged with theft and conspiracy to commit burglary.

A 31-year-old man is on bail on suspicion of money laundering.
