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.
