In the Netherlands, police are seeking suspects in a bold robbery that occurred at the Drents Museum in Assen. Early Saturday, thieves detonated an explosion to gain access, stealing a 2,450-year-old golden helmet and other valuable artifacts on loan from Romania. The helmet, historically significant, was discovered by a child in 1927. An associated car fire could indicate the suspects' escape route. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the police are still trying to identify the culprits responsible for this audacious crime.
The stolen artifacts, described by the museum as "archaeological masterpieces", include the golden helmet of Coțofenești, a famed relic dating back to roughly 450 B.C.E.
Dutch authorities mentioned a possible scenario where suspects switched vehicles near the car fire, suggesting organized planning behind the museum robbery.
