This morning, the treasure of Villena, one of the most valuable Bronze Age collections in Europe, was stolen from the Archaeological Museum of Villena (Alt Vinalopó). The Civil Guard and the Judicial Police are already investigating the theft, as confirmed by sources from the Alicante municipality to the Efe agency. The museum's alarm sounded at 5:20 AM, according to the same sources. By 5:24 AM, the theft had already been consummated and no one was in the museum. Previously, at 5:16 AM, the alarm at the Villena sports complex had gone off, likely to divert police attention. Regarding how the thieves (or thief) gained access, municipal sources consulted by Europa Press rule out entry through the windows, as they are armored.
