Coins of the Celtic Treasure are on display at the local Celtic and Roman Museum in Manching
(Picture: AP)A senior German official has said the theft of ancient Celtic gold coins from a museum this week was likely completed by organised crime groups.
The Celtic and Roman Museum in southern town Manching reported that the 483 coins, that date back to around 100 BC, were taken alongside three other items. The gold coins, which were discovered in 1999, are worth millions but authorities fear they could be melted down.
