BELGIUM-EUROPE-MUSEUM-WILDLIFE-CRIME-ENTERTAINMENT
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY Laurent Thomet
A picture taken on July 28, 2011 shows a stuffed rhinoceros at the Brussels Royal Institute for Natural Sciences Museum. It was a daring daytime robbery at the natural science museum. The two thieves snuck into the rhino gallery and ripped a stuffed head off the wall. They carried it to a restroom, opened a window, and dropped the 30-kilo trophy two-stories down to an accomplice waiting in a van. The museum had never been robbed until the July heist, when it became the latest of a rising number of science museums in Europe targetted by thieves for rhino horns, which can fetch tens of thousands of euros on the black market.
