Police conducted more than 80 searches in Italy, France, Britain, Germany and Serbia, arrested 23 people and recovered some 10,000 archaeological items. “Significantly, images taken by drones show the violence of the clandestine digs carried out by this criminal gang, with a excavator used to break up the ground with enormous brutality,” the police statement said.
The thieves walked off with terracotta vases, painted plates, brooches and jewels. Police said the stolen goods had a value of “several million euros”.
