The Drents Museum in Assen was targeted by thieves who used explosives to gain entry to the museum. The stolen items included a golden helmet, a number of golden bracelets, and a collection of Dacian spiral bracelets. The relics were part of an exhibition about the Dacian empire and had been loaned to the museum from Bucharest, Romania.
A possible scenario is that the suspects switched to another vehicle in the vicinity of the fire.
We are deeply shocked and heartbroken that items belonging to our Romanian colleagues have been stolen. It's not just gold. This is cultural heritage.
You can assume some prior knowledge because these were the highlights of the exhibition.
That toilet has probably been melted down too.
You cannot sell them. They are too well known and they are priceless.
This morning when I heard the news, I hoped that it would be a painting that was stolen because a painting they sometimes return.
The criminal underworld is using explosives more and more in their crimes.
But in this case they targeted gold and silver, which is normally a sign that they will be melted down.
Typically, these guys in the underworld have a nephew or a friend who knows someone who works in a certain place who can melt down the gold.
