Gold specimens stolen from the
Sterling Hill Mining Museum
|
About 15 very fine gold
specimens were stolen from the main exhibit hall of the
Sterling
Hill Mining
Museum on the afternoon of
July 27, 2011. This was a smash-and-grab operation that had to be done
within a 20-minute time frame in full daylight. We ask that people in
the mineral community be alerted for a sudden influx of fine gold
specimens being offered from other than the usual sources. If
anyone has information to offer, please call the
Sterling
Hill Mining
Museum at 973-209-7212 and
ask for Richard Hauck, Robert Hauck, or Earl Verbeek, or send e-mail to
Earl Verbeek at
everbeek@ptd.net. A hefty reward is being offered for the
recovery of these specimens and successful capture of the thief. |
