British Museum reveals types of ‘stolen’ artefacts in online appeal for missing items

It was revealed in August more than 1,500 priceless objects were believed to have been stolen or destroyed at the hands of a single thief

The British Museum has launched a webpage categorising the types of items that are believed to have been stolen from its collection.

It comes after around 2,000 objects worth millions of pounds went missing, with a single thief thought to be responsible.

The Bloomsbury institution has for the first time provided details of the lost artefacts and outlined the steps it is taking to recover them.

Gold jewellery, semi-precious stones and glass are among the missing articles.
