Qatari royals' jewels Stolen from Venice Exhibition in Italy

Police said that several items of jewellery were stolen from a case at the exhibition at the Doge's Palace on Wednesday morning.

Two thieves got away with earrings and a brooch on the final day of a four-month exhibition of 270 items showcasing five centuries of Indian craftsmanship.

Chief police commissioner Vito Gagliardi said. "We are clearly dealing here with two skilled professionals who managed to pull off their feat despite all the display rooms being fitted with technologically highly sophisticated (alarm) systems."

Venice police noted that since the items are so unique they will be nearly impossible to sell on the market.

The collection was assembled by Sheikh Hamad bin Abdullah Al Thani and now belongs to Qatar's ruling family.
