The Dutch police searched the home of a Romanian woman in the town of Heerhugowaard last week as part of the investigation into the theft of the Dacian treasure from the Drents Museum in Assen, Dutch newspaper AD revealed on Monday. The woman is not a suspect in the investigation, but the police confiscated several items from her home.

The three suspects who were arrested last week in connection with the case are also from Heerhugowaard.

The search at the Romanian woman’s home was confirmed by a spokesperson for the prosecutor’s office, who declined to specify the exact suspicions that led to the action, stating that the search was carried out “in the interest of the investigation.”

If there are grounds for it, the police can search a home and seize objects. The investigating judge also granted permission for this in this case.”

The woman’s house was located near the place where two of the suspects were arrested. She gave an interview to Observator, describing what had happened. In that conversation, she stated that she and her husband did not know the thieves.

“They took our cars. We have no cars left. We have no phones left. They even took the watch from my wrist—I don’t know what connection it had. The bedding. The rugs from the living room entrance,” the Romanian woman listed.

The searches reportedly lasted from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. According to the woman, DNA tests are being conducted on the confiscated objects.

The three suspects arrested in the case of the theft of gold artifacts from the Dacian treasure exhibited at the Drents Museum in Assen will remain behind bars after the investigating judge extended their pretrial detention by another 14 days on Friday. The arrested individuals are two men and a woman from Heerhugowaard.

On Thursday evening, the Dutch police published photos of two of the suspects arrested in connection with the Dacian treasure heist at the Drents Museum in Assen. Investigators have called on citizens who saw them after the robbery to provide information about the two in order to track down the stolen artifacts.

On January 24, an explosive device was used to open a door of the Drents Museum. It was “a powerful, unprecedented explosion,” the prosecution stated.

The criminals made off with significant gold pieces from the exhibition Dacia – The Kingdom of Gold and Silver, including the golden helmet of Coțofenești and three gold bracelets.
