The British Museum has implemented emergency security measures and launched an independent review after admitting that a staff member has stolen a number of priceless artefacts from its collection. The stolen pieces, including gold jewellery and gems dating back to the 15th century BC, are now considered missing, stolen, and damaged. The museum is coordinating with the police and plans to pursue legal action against the dismissed staff member. The review will be led by former trustee Nigel Boardman and Chief Constable Lucy D'Orsi, with the aim of recovering the missing items and making recommendations for future security arrangements.
