Artefacts worth £1.8m stolen from Durham Uni, by fingerz on Apr 12, 2012 9:03:56 GMT 1, Two artefacts valued at £1.8m have been stolen from Durham University's Oriental Museum in a night-time raid.
Thieves got into the museum's Malcolm MacDonald Gallery late on Thursday, escaping with an 18th Century jade bowl and porcelain sculpture.
Museum officials described the objects as "highly significant" examples of the Qing Dynasty.
Two men and a woman have been arrested in the West Midlands in connection with the burglary.
They have been brought to a Durham police station for questioning. The two artefacts have not been recovered.
Det Ch Insp Traci McNally said: "We are still trying to locate several outstanding suspects in relation to this investigation.
"We believe those individuals would be aware of the police investigation and would urge them to contact Durham Police on 101 without delay."
