Villena Museum theft Bronze Age gold

Thieves made off with 3,000-year-old gold from a Spanish museum in just minutes. The group broke into a museum in Villena early today through a window and needed only three to four minutes inside to get away with Bronze Age bracelets, bowls, bottles and other gold pieces from one of the most important collections of its kind. The gold alone could be worth around €1.7 million, though historically the collection is basically priceless. They left behind a small gold crown dropped during the escape. Three minutes inside and 3,000 years of history gone. Source: BBC / Writer: Daniyal
