A large haul of priceless antiques were taken.
A Nottinghamshire museum which had scores of priceless antiques stolen by thieves who sawed through flooring says it is "fighting back." Nottinghamshire Police says that the large haul of items was stolen during the early hours of Sunday from the Royal Lancers & Nottinghamshire Yeomanry Museum at Thoresby Park.
Officers discovered after moving the cabinets that the thieves had drilled upwards and burrowed through several layers of wood to gain access. Items taken included a distinctive parcel and gilt rosewater dish – said to be the sister piece to the Wimbledon women's singles trophy. Steve Cox, curator for the Royal Lancers & Nottinghamshire Yeomanry Museum, said: "It's disgusting that they've taken history from the people who have served and fought for this country. The items they have taken are priceless to the museum."How do you put a value on history? We're upset about it, but we're fighting back and we're going to rebuild from what's gone.
Detective Inspector Luke Todd, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "This was an audacious, planned, and targeted attack on what is a wonderful historic building and was clearly very well organised. The items that were stolen are not only high in monetary value but also high in sentimental value not only to the military, but also to the wider community in the area."
Those with any information on the theft are asked to call 101, quoting incident number 273 of October 29. Crimestoppers can also be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
