Associated Press

LYNN, Mass. — A moving company owner has been ordered held on $250,000 bail after pleading not guilty to charges connected to a $2 million jewelry heist that included New York Giants Super Bowl rings.

Sean D. Murphy was arraigned Monday in Lynn District Court on charges of receiving stolen property related to the June robbery at E.A. Dion Inc. in Attleboro.

Murphy was arrested Friday at his home. According to court documents, police found one of the stolen Super Bowl rings in Murphy's bedroom, jewelry in his car, and rare coins in a bank safe deposit box. Police did not say what led them to Murphy.

He still faces charges of breaking and entering and larceny related to the incident in Attleboro. Murphy's lawyer says his client looks forward to his day in court.
