Victoria And Albert Museum Hit By Robbers (It’s The Third Time)

For the third time in three months, the Victoria & Albert Museum has been hit by robbers. “The museum authorities disclosed yesterday that a series of Italian Renaissance bronze plaquettes, worth about £500,000, were stolen on Wednesday. The theft is the largest of the three robberies and a big embarrassment for the V&A, which, The Times revealed last month, has been severely criticised for its lax security.”
