Coțofenești Helmet and Dacian Royal Bracelets Stolen from Dutch Museum in Explosive Heist, Interpol Involved
Jan 25, 2025, 04:43 PM
Thieves used explosives to break into the Drents Museum in Assen, Netherlands, and stole several valuable Dacian gold artifacts. The stolen items include the gold Coțofenești helmet and three Dacian royal bracelets, which were part of an exhibition titled 'Dacia - Empire of Gold and Silver' that displayed over 600 objects. The heist occurred early Saturday morning, with the explosion reported at around 3:45 a.m. local time. The museum, which has been in operation for 170 years, described the incident as unprecedented. The Dutch police are cooperating with Interpol to investigate the theft and have identified a burnt-out car near the scene that may be linked to the crime. No arrests have been made so far. Romanian authorities have been notified, and the Dutch government has assured cooperation in the recovery efforts.
