This is the best summary I could come up with:
The British Museum in London has sacked a member of staff and police are investigating after treasures were reported "missing, stolen or damaged".
Items including gold, jewellery and gems of semi-precious stones were among those found to be missing, stolen or damaged.
The majority of the items were kept in a storeroom, the museum said.
British Museum director Hartwig Fischer said the organisation had "brought an end to this".
This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
