Europol reports a rise in violent tactics used in museum robberies across Europe, with criminals employing weapons and explosives. The agency notes a shift from traditional non-violent thefts to aggressive methods, indicating the involvement of new criminal networks. Recent high-profile cases include thefts from the Drents Museum in the Netherlands and the Louvre in Paris, where valuable artifacts were targeted. The report highlights a growing interest in precious metals and antiques, particularly Chinese artifacts, suggesting a market demand driving these crimes. Europol also observes a trend of less specialized criminals engaging in these thefts, often recruited through social media.
