Professional Gang Steals 59 Bronze Age Artifacts from Villena Museum in Four-Minute Heist

Thieves stole 59 prehistoric artifacts, including gold, silver, and iron pieces, from the Villena Museum in Spain in a coordinated four-minute raid. The operation used a diversionary alarm at a nearby sports center to distract police. While the historical value is incalculable, the gold alone is estimated to be worth between 1.5 million and 2 million euros. Investigators describe the theft as highly professional, with only a few items left behind.
