LONDON, Dec 11 (KUNA) -- More than 600 artefacts of significant cultural value have been stolen from Bristol Museum's archive in a high-value raid, BBC reported on Thursday, citing police sources.
Military memorabilia, jewellery, natural history pieces and carved ivory, bronze and silver figurines were stolen from the archive in the Cumberland Basin area of the city in the early hours of September 25.
Detectives have released images of four men captured on CCTV in the area after part of the museum's British Empire and Commonwealth collection were stolen, according to the report.
BBC quoted Philip Walker, head of culture and creative industries at Bristol City Council, which operates the museum, as saying that the theft was "devastating." (end) mrn.hss.gb
