German police has found two bronze horse statues that once stood in front of Adolf Hitler's chancellery and several pieces of Nazi-era art in black market probe.

Police said that they had to stage a series of raids to recover them. Eight people are being investigated, the BBC reported.

The 'Walking Horses' by Josef Thorak were custom-made for the Berlin building that was badly damaged in World War Two and later destroyed by Soviet forces.

The horses and a huge "typical Nazi style" granite relief by Arno Breker were last seen at Soviet barracks near Berlin in 1989, shortly before the fall of the Berlin wall.
