官员表示，窃贼于周四洗劫了比列纳宝藏——西班牙最伟大的青铜时代黄金藏品之一，这是近期欧洲博物馆遭遇的又一起备受关注的盗窃案。
此次针对西班牙比列纳镇这座博物馆内50余件主要为黄金的文物的突袭行动仅持续了数分钟。
“比列纳博物馆的警报在凌晨5点20分左右响起，”镇议会一名发言人说道，并补充称，窃贼在5点24分就已经撤离了场馆。
该名发言人表示，此次行动“超快且极其专业”。
“他们带走了大部分宝藏，”比列纳市长富尔亨西奥·塞尔丹在接受记者采访时声音哽咽地说道。
“我们彻底崩溃了，我甚至都在发抖。说实话，对我们比列纳人来说，这对我们打击巨大。这些宝藏是我们遗产和财富的一部分，”塞尔丹说道。
比列纳宝藏包含29只手镯、11个碗、3个瓶子以及其他杂项藏品，目前收藏在阿利坎特省比列纳镇的一座小型博物馆内。

尽管藏品以黄金为主，但其中也有银器、铁器和琥珀制品，所有文物都可追溯至公元前1000年左右。这批宝藏于1963年由何塞·玛丽亚·索莱尔在比列纳一处干涸河床中的沉船船舱内发现。
据市长介绍，尽管这批宝藏的历史价值无可估量，但仅黄金部分的价值就约为200万美元。
博物馆安保“无失误”
据西班牙政府驻阿利坎特副代表曼努埃尔·皮内达透露，窃贼分乘多辆车抵达，显然是“通过一扇窗户”进入博物馆的。
比列纳镇的那位发言人表示，“所有安保系统都已启动”，并坚称博物馆方面“没有任何失误”。
该发言人补充称，就在抢劫前不久，该市体育中心的另一处警报响起，当局正在调查这是否是窃贼设置的干扰行动。
去年10月，窃贼在光天化日之下闯入巴黎卢浮宫，在不到8分钟的时间内盗走了价值1.02亿美元的珠宝。涉案窃贼已被逮捕并起诉，但除了一伙人逃跑时掉落的一顶王冠外，其余珠宝均未追回。
此后欧洲各地的博物馆接连发生一系列肆无忌惮的盗窃案。
意大利文化部周日称，文艺复兴时期艺术家安东内洛·德·梅西纳的四件“价值非凡”的作品从西西里岛的一座博物馆被盗。
两天前，意大利警方表示，他们已追回从帕尔马附近的马尼尼亚尼-罗卡基金会博物馆被盗的雷诺阿、塞尚和马蒂斯的画作，总价值超过1040万美元。据当地媒体报道，这些艺术品在不到三分钟的时间内就被偷走了。
上个月，窃贼在一场大胆的凌晨突袭中，从法国奢侈玻璃制造商莱俪的博物馆盗走了价值数百万美元的珠宝。
去年10月，一名女子因在巴黎自然历史博物馆盗窃黄金而被捕并被起诉。
2025年9月，窃贼在法国中部利摩日的阿德里安·迪布什国家博物馆实施盗窃，抢走了三件价值数百万美元、被列为国家级宝藏的瓷器作品。
Ancient gold treasures stolen from Spanish museum in “super-fast” raid

Thieves on Thursday raided the Treasure of Villena — one of the greatest Bronze Age gold collections — in the latest high-profile heist at a European museum, officials said.
The raid on the 50-plus mainly gold objects in the Spanish town of Villena lasted just minutes.
“The alarm at the Villena Museum went off around 5:20 a.m.,” said a spokesman for the town council, adding that by 5:24 a.m. the thieves had already left the building.
The operation was “super-fast and super-professional,” the spokesman said.
“They’ve taken most of the treasure,” the mayor of Villena, Fulgencio Cerdan, told journalists, his voice breaking.
“We are absolutely devastated, I’m even trembling. The truth is that for those of us from Villena, this destroys us. It’s part of our heritage, of our wealth,” Cerdan said.
The 29 bracelets, 11 bowls, three bottles and other miscellaneous pieces in the Treasure of Villena are kept in a small museum in the Alicante province town.

Though mainly gold, there are also pieces of silver, iron and amber, all dating back to about 1,000 BC. The treasure was discovered in 1963 by Jose Maria Soler in a vessel sunk in a dried-out riverbed in Villena.
While the treasure’s historical value is incalculable, the gold alone is worth around $2 million, according to the mayor.
“No failure” by the museum
The thieves arrived in several vehicles and apparently entered the museum “through a window,” according to the Spanish government’s deputy representative in Alicante, Manuel Pineda.
“All security systems were activated,” according to the Villena spokesman, who insisted there had been “no failure” by the museum.
Shortly before the robbery, another alarm went off at the city’s sports center and authorities were investigating whether that was a diversion created by the thieves, the spokesperson added.
Last October, thieves broke into the Louvre museum in Paris in broad daylight, escaping in less than eight minutes with jewelry worth $102 million. The suspected thieves have been arrested and charged, but none of the jewels have been recovered except for a crown that was dropped as the group escaped.
There have since been a series of brazen raids in institutions across Europe.
Four works “of extraordinary value” by Renaissance artist Antonello da Messina were stolen from a museum in Sicily, Italy’s culture ministry said Sunday.
Two days earlier, Italian police said they had recovered paintings by Renoir, Cezanne and Matisse worth over $10.4 million that were stolen from the Magnani-Rocca Foundation museum near Parma. The artworks were stolen in less than three minutes, local media reported.
Last month, burglars stole millions of dollars worth of jewelry from the museum of French luxury glassmaker Lalique in a daring early morning raid.
Last October, a woman was arrested and charged over the theft of gold from the Natural History Museum in Paris.
In September 2025, thieves snatched three porcelain works worth millions of dollars and classed as national treasures in a heist at the Adrien Dubouche National Museum in Limoges in central France.
