British police are currently on the lookout for two individuals in connection with the recent theft of precious gold jewelry from a museum. According to reports from the BBC, the stolen objects date back 3000 years and include a gold torc and a gold bracelet. The incident took place at Ely Museum in Cambridgeshire, located in the eastern region of England, this past Tuesday.
The police have released CCTV footage of the suspects, who can be seen entering the museum through a window and quickly passing by a security camera. Detective Inspector Kiri Mazur has stated that they are currently searching for two individuals on e-scooters who are believed to be involved in the burglary. "The theft of these items is truly despicable," she stated, "and we are fully committed to identifying the perpetrators, retrieving the stolen items, and returning them to their rightful place."
Mazur also mentioned that the police are working closely with the museum staff to explore all possible leads and lines of inquiry. It is believed that the theft occurred in the early hours of the morning, and the investigation is ongoing. Meanwhile, museum curator Elie Hughes has expressed her deep distress over the incident, stating that it feels like a personal loss as a part of their local heritage has been taken away.
Both the torc and the bracelet were originally discovered by metal detectorists in Cambridgeshire, and the former was acquired for the museum through generous grants and donations. The torc, which was found in a farmer's field, is considered to be the finest example discovered in England in over a century due to its impressive size and composition of 730g of nearly pure gold. Hughes explained that the torc is quite unique in that it is large enough to be worn around a person's shoulders, making it a rare find.
She also added that what made the torc so special was that its purpose was still unknown. "It's made from twisted gold, shaped like fusilli pasta," she described. The loss of these valuable and historically significant artifacts has been deeply felt by the museum and the community, and everyone is hoping for their safe return. Meanwhile, the police continue their search for the suspects and urge anyone with information to come forward.
