In England, there were serial thieves antique china

Dick Ellis (Dick Ellis), former head of art and antiques division of Scotland Yard found that in England, working serial thieves antique porcelain, reports The Art Newspaper. Police compiled and reviewed a list of 21 thefts and 15 robberies recorded in England in the last three years.
Ellis suggests that for the theft of antique porcelain are three organized groups of thieves. First working at night: as a rule, they climb the stairs to the house, or glass cutter make holes in the windows. The second group is presumably a very small build, with which everyone is able to penetrate into the house. Third prefers open to the public estates and mansions and acts quickly and aggressively.

According to Ellis, stolen property is sold within a few days after the theft - is exported abroad, sold at antique flea markets or through online auctions.

Several experts are surprised that the theft of antique porcelain occur frequently because the porcelain as the material is extremely fragile, and make a statue or a vase out of the house and not break it can be difficult.

Following the recent robberies almost no one was arrested. According to Ellis, no one is analyzing similar crimes elsewhere, and so the police have not yet achieved success in investigating the recent theft of china.

The largest theft of antique porcelain occurred in July 2009. Thieves broke into the manor Firle in Sussex, are usually open to visitors. It was stolen 20 valuable items, including a statue of harlequin meysenovskogo porcelain, made about 1743 by Johann Kendlerom, and rare outdoor vase in 1761 of Sevres porcelain. The total estimated value of the stolen about half a million pounds sterling (about 740 thousand dollars). A similar theft occurred just four days later in another house in the southern Sussex.
