British police have confirmed that more than 600 historical artifacts were stolen from a museum in Bristol between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. on September 25. CCTV footage captured four suspects carrying bags near the museum on Cumberland Road. The stolen items include military medals, jewelry, badges, carved ivory, silverware, bronze statues, and specimens from natural history collections.
Investigating officer Dan Burgan described the theft as a significant cultural loss, noting that many of the items were donations that help interpret complex periods of British history. Bristol City Council’s head of culture, Philip Walker, expressed deep regret, emphasizing that the collection was vital for understanding Britain’s imperial past and its connections with other nations.
The stolen collection had been under the care of the council since the closure of the British Empire and Commonwealth Museum in 2012. The incident comes amid a rise in museum thefts across Europe, following similar losses at the Louvre in Paris and the British Museum in London.
