In a series of events that sound ripped from a movie script, thieves in Germany managed to steal a hoard of ancient gold coins from a museum by cutting power to the entire town of Manching.
Bavaria’s minister of science and arts, Markus Blume, told public broadcaster BR: ‘It’s clear that you don’t simply march into a museum and take this treasure with you.
Authorities fear the treasure, worth millions of euros, could be melted down, meaning the bowl-shaped coins would be lost to science.A broken window at the Celtic and Roman museum in Manching ‘The museum is actually a high-security location. But all the connections to the police were severed.’ The coins, dating back to 100BC and weighing around 4kg in total, were discovered in 1999 during excavations of an ancient settlement nearby.
