Police investigating after exhibits including gold coins and silver necklaces disappear
Gold coins, silver necklaces and 540 pieces of pottery are among the hundreds of historical artefacts missing from the British Museum since 2013, the institution’s records reportedly show.
The British Museum revealed last week that police were investigating items that were “missing, stolen or damaged” from its collection. Legal action is being taken by the London-based institution against a member of staff, who has been sacked.
