The Oakland Police Department announced Wednesday that it is working with the FBI’s Art Crime Team to investigate a burglary from the Oakland Museum of California’s storage facility two weeks ago. Shortly before 3:30 a.m. on Oct. 15, a suspect or suspects broke into the museum’s off-site collection storage facility, according to a press release from OPD. They stole more than 1,000 items, including jewelry, laptops, Native American baskets, daguerreotypes, and other artifacts, police said. The museum’s collection staff is working with insurance providers to determine the total value of the stolen artifacts. The museum is also evaluating additional security measures at the facility. https://lnkd.in/gY8iQWh8
