UK police seek four suspects in September 2025 theft of 600+ museum artifacts from Bristol.

UK police are seeking four men in connection with the theft of over 600 culturally significant artifacts from a Bristol museum storage facility on September 25, 2025. The stolen items, including medals, jewelry, carved ivory, silver and bronze objects, films, photographs, and personal documents, relate to the British Empire and Commonwealth and were largely donated. Authorities released images of the suspects from CCTV footage and are urging the public to report sightings or any online sales of the items, citing the loss as a major blow to cultural heritage. The investigation remains active, though the reason for the public appeal months after the incident is unclear.
