Uncovered: Serial Art Thief's Unbelievable Scheme Exposed

The British police have revealed that they have caught a serial thief who, for years, destroyed and stole more than 2,000 valuable artworks and artifacts, some worth millions of pounds.

"We are dealing with a serial thief who had no fear of looting the museum for years and did so with great cunning," say the management of the British Museum, pointing the finger at a recently dismissed employee, Peter Higgs. Higgs had served for years as a curator of the Mediterranean Cultures Department. Despite denying the accusations against him, police continue to investigate.

Rev. Prof. Martin Henig, an expert in Roman art at Oxford University, called the scandal "completely unforgivable," stating that the museum hid the disappearance of valuable objects from the public for eight months, only contacting the police in January of this year following another theft that 'broke the camel's back'. "This is the worst case I've encountered," says Henig in an interview with 'The Telegraph'. "Not only did he steal the items, but he also destroyed them to reduce their price."

The police investigation uncovered another strange detail from this affair, which is also being examined. "Senior officials at the museum discovered that the museum's treasures were being sold online and did not react. This raises a very big question mark that needs to be checked," they say now.
