ANTIQUES RIPPER ON THE LOOSE
( The Mirror ) ; 04-11-2001
A THIEF who stole antique maps in Scandinavia has struck at the leading
library in Wales.
He took maps worth pounds 100,000 from the National Library of Wales,
Aberystwyth.
They were cut out from four volumes of atlases dating back from 400 years.
The thief was seen on CCTV and is the man who struck before in Denmark
and Finland.
Police think he is stealing to order for wealthy collectors.
