Thieves steal 600-diamond necklace from Vienna museum in broad daylight
An international manhunt is under way for two men who stole a necklace decorated with more than 600 diamonds from a museum in Vienna after buying a ticket for the exhibition in which it was being displayed.
In a daring daylight robbery, two men broke into the Vienna Museum of Applied Arts and stole a 600-diamond necklace worth over $4 million. The suspects smashed a glass case and fled south towards Vienna's Stadtpark. The necklace belonged to the former Egyptian royal family and was part of an exhibition on Van Cleef & Arpels jewellers.
Police released photos of the suspects after they were identified by security cameras. One suspect is believed to have been carrying a real firearm. The theft has shaken the museum, which had taken extensive security measures for the exhibition. Police are appealing for public help to identify the culprits and have deployed additional resources to the case.
