A stash of Celtic coins worth several million euros was stolen from a German museum in a seemingly daring raid in the early hours of this morning

Employees at the museum in Manching later discovered that the"showcase was broken" and the entire gold coin hoard had been stolen, local police said.

Investigators did not provide any other details as to the circumstances surrounding the heist, but local officials highlighted a disruption to phone and internet services."The museum is actually a high-security location. But all the connections to the police were severed," Mr Nerb said.The disappearance of the treasure is a"complete catastrophe" for the Bavarian town, Mr Nerb added.

Thieves took 21 pieces of jewellery and other valuables in a brazen night-time raid on the Green Vault museum in Dresden's Royal Palace in November 2019. Authorities believe members of a notorious criminal family carried out that robbery. There remains no trace of the jewels, which include a sword with a diamond-encrusted hilt and a shoulder piece which contains a famous 49-carat white diamond.

Insurance experts say the Green Vault loot is worth at least €113.8m, with German media dubbing it the biggest art heist in modern history.
