Police release CCTV footage of Cambridge museum theft

Jane Greaves, chair of trustees for Ely Museum, said the break-in alert was a “call you never want to get”.

“This is where the object was from, it belongs here and it belongs to the people of Ely,” Ms Greaves said.

“It is hugely devastating that it has been stolen and taken from the people in this way.

“It feels personal.. the people who stole this wanted it and went to lengths to take it.

“We live and hope, that’s all we can do.”

Both items were found in East Cambridgeshire by metal detectorists.

The torc, found in a ploughed field, is regarded as the best found in England in more than a century, as it is larger than many other examples and made of 730g (1lb 10oz) of almost pure gold.
