THIS is the dramatic moment a thieves pulled off a Ocean’s 11-style heist to steal a 2,500-year-old golden helmet and three priceless bracelets before vanishing into thin air.
Shocking footage shows the gang blasting through the doors of the Drents Museum in Assen, a quaint Dutch city known more for its motorsports than international art crime.

Thieves also took this 2,500-year-old golden helmet[/caption]
At 3.45am on Saturday, the tranquil streets turned chaotic as an explosion tore through the museum’s entrance.
Within minutes, the thieves had snatched the golden Helmet of Cotofenesti – an intricately decorated artefact dating back to 450 B.C.
They also took three spiral Dacian bracelets linked to ancient Romanian royalty.
“This is a dark day for the Drents Museum in Assen and the National History Museum of Romania in Bucharest. We are intensely shocked,” said the museum’s director, Harry Tupan.
He added the institution had never seen “such a major incident” in its 170-year history.
The helmet, a national treasure of Romania, was discovered in 1927 by a child in the small Romanian village of Cotofenesti.
It had once been used as a toy and even a water bowl for chickens before its historical value was realised.
Its front is adorned with engraved mythological creatures, a male figure appearing to sacrifice a ram, and two large ayes above the brow line.
The bracelets, thought to date back to 50 B.C., were just as significant as they were recovered from the black market after being looted from Dacian fortresses in the 1990s.
The heist unfolded like a scene from Ocean’s 11.
After the explosion, the gang disappeared with the gold relics, leaving the museum damaged but no one injured.
About 30 minutes later, police were alerted to a burning car nearby—a possible getaway vehicle set alight to cover their tracks.
“A possible scenario is that the suspects switched to another vehicle in the vicinity of the fire,” Dutch police said in a statement.
Authorities suspect several individuals were involved in the meticulously planned operation.
They’ve launched a forensic investigation, reviewed CCTV footage, and enlisted Interpol to track down the artefacts.
“This is something you don’t want as a museum, but also as a city and province,” said Marco Out, the mayor of Assen.
Romania’s President Klaus Iohannis said Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof assured him that every effort is being made to recover the stolen treasures.

The £10million robbery was recorded on CCTV showing a bold burglar grabbing handfuls of bangles, necklaces and rings – quickly shoving them into his bag.
Inside the London mansion, the masked robber was snapped creeping around the property before he went for the jewels, nearly bumping into the maid as he wandered through the corridor.
Footage shows him with a flat cap, black gloves and a dark jumper as he carefully scoops up multiple strings of beads and jewels.
He methodically stuffs the bling into a black bag was caught on camera at the St John’s Wood house property on Avenue Road.
The owner of the stolen goods is hyper-rich Hong Kong influencer Shafira Huang, 35, known for being a cultural ambassador of Bond Street’s swanky Halcyon Gallery.

THE exact time Storm Herminia is expected to roll in, bringing 75 mph gusts, comes just hours after the “strongest storm in a decade”.
A spell of “very strong” wind and “heavy rain” has led to the Met office putting a yellow weather warning in place.

Residents across Ireland were urged to stay at home as the entire island braced for the arrival of Storm Eowyn[/caption]

The Met office has already put a number of yellow warnings in place ahead of Storm Herminia[/caption]
With injuries and “danger to life” a possibility, those in the South West of England could face gusts of up to 75mph starting at 8am today.
Following Storm Eowyn, which battered residents across the nation earlier this week, there seems to be little time for relief before Storm Herminia.
Snow and ice warnings are also in place until 10am today.
Yellow warnings continue to be in place from the start of the week.
Disruption to transport and outages of power have been described as likely.
Coastal routes and exposed areas will probably be affected by spray or large waves.
Heavy rain from 6am tomorrow could bring “some disruption and flooding” to the West Midlands and much of Wales.

It comes after thousands were left without power after facing Storm Eowyn.
A mini tornado was seen in Cornwall was at least one treated for injuries, according to local media.
A 20-year-old man was tragically killed after a tree fell on his car in 114 mph winds.
Kacper Dudek died in Ireland after the adverse weather conditions and devastating incident.
The tree fell on his vehicle at Feddyglass, Raphoe in Co Donegal, early on Friday with a post-mortem expected to take place in due course.
Meanwhile, in Scotland the First Minister revealed it could take weeks to repair the devastation left behind.
John Swinney appealed for “patience” as 60,000 homes continued to be without power yesterday.
Mr Swinney said: “After the significant impact of Storm Éowyn, work is under way to restore power supplies and transport network.
“It will take some time to complete and I appeal for the patience of the public.
“Power company staff and our public servants are working at speed to restore services.”
Cops were called to around 1,900 weather-related incidents and Scottish Southern Electricity Networks said it has received 52,000 calls — two months’ worth — in just 24 hours and warned it could take days for power to come back on.
Aileen Rourke, distribution director for SP Energy Networks Scotland, said: “Storm Éowyn is one of the worst to hit Scotland in decades.
“The force of the wind has caused significant damage which, unfortunately, means in some areas it could take longer to restore power.”

Spells of heavy rain could lead to some local flooding while those in Wales could see their bus and train services taking longer than usual.
Tuesday: Strong and gusty winds are expected across the majority of the south with a yellow warning continuing to be in place for a number of areas.
Those in exposed coastal regions may find they are particularly affected.
Wednesday: Currently there are no warnings in force from mid-week but it is worth keeping an eye on the forecast as this could change.

GARY NEVILLE has lashed out at Cole Palmer for talking with Pep Guardiola after Chelsea’s loss at Manchester City.
The Blues collapsed to a 3-1 loss at the Etihad despite taking an early lead through Noni Madueke.

The pair were seen sharing a joke before walking towards the tunnels at the Etihad.
And Neville believes it was a power move from Guardiola – who “played” his former star.
Neville continued: “He was smiling with him – Pep Guardiola does that.
“Cole, you’re being played, you’re being played here.
“I’m not being old school here. But there was something about that when I thought, Pep Guardiola is playing you here.
“I know he’s had him [at City], but he didn’t play him here and he sold him.”
One fan agreed on X: “It’s such a double standard that people just let Pep always do this. He never does it after a defeat too.”
Another said: “It’s the way Pep always stands in front of the player to prevent them from just walking off the pitch, making sure the camera gets a chance to close in on them. It’s embarrassing.”
While a third countered: “What’s wrong with that, he used to be his manager.”
Following Saturday’s loss, Chelsea have now won just one of their last five Premier League games.
They have slipped back to sixth, with City replacing them in the top four.
Cole, you’re being played, you’re being played here. I’m not being old school here. But there was something about that when I thought, Pep Guardiola is playing you here.

Following Palmer’s move to City, Guardiola claimed he had been the “decisive player of the season” in 2023/24.
The forward netted 22 goals in his opening season at Stamford Bridge, chipping in with a further 11 assists.
