Eight stolen scrolls of Hebrew Scriptures have been returned to a New York City synagogue in time for the Rosh Hashana holiday.

The Torahs valued at around $500,000 were taken in August from the Jewish Center of Kew Gardens Hills in Queens.

Police recovered them on Sept. 4. A maintenance worker and a suspected accomplice have been charged with criminal possession of stolen property.
