Hundreds of items stolen in ‘high-value’ Bristol museum raid

More than 600 artefacts “of significant cultural value” have been stolen from Bristol Museum’s archive in a “high-value” raid, police say.
Four men gained entry to a building in the Cumberland Basin area of the city in the early hours of 25 September, Avon and Somerset Police said.
Items from the museum’s British Empire and Commonwealth collection were stolen and detectives are now trying to trace four men captured in the area on CCTV.
“The theft of many items which carry a significant cultural value is a significant loss for the city,” Det Con Dan Burgan said.
