LONDON, United Kingdom - The British Museum in London has recovered 350 of approximately 2,000 artefacts believed to have been stolen from its collection by an ex-employee, chairman George Osborne said Wednesday.
The museum has also dismissed a staff member suspected of involvement in what Osborne called Wednesday"an inside job", and alerted police who have interviewed a person but made no arrests."We are intending to put on display the objects we have recovered -- there is a lot of public interest in these objects," Osborne told MPs quizzing him about the thefts.
"We were the victims of an inside job by someone, we believe, who over a long period of time was stealing from the museum and the museum put trust in," he said.
