The investigation into the theft of the Dacian hoard from the Drents Museum shows that the artifacts were not destroyed and that the suspects have information about their location.

Dutch prosecutors have revealed that the stolen Dacian hoard was not destroyed, contrary to earlier beliefs. The suspects, notably a 26-year-old man, may have possessed the artifacts and intended to sell them illegally. Authorities conducted a covert operation to recover the artifacts, offering large sums of money for information. The theft took place in January and the museum director was sacked following the incident. The investigation continues and authorities hope to recover the treasures intact.
