CultureSpain’s Villena Treasure stolen in four-minute museum heist

Almost the entire Villena Treasure, one of Europe’s most valuable Bronze Age collections, was stolen from a museum in eastern Spain during a four-minute raid. Thieves smashed through a window and bulletproof glass. Police believe several people and vehicles were involved and suspect an alarm at a nearby sports centre was triggered as a diversion.
