British museum suing ex-curator over alleged theft of nearly 2,000 items

London, Mar 27 (UNI) The British Museum has filed a lawsuit against former curator Peter Higgs, who has been alleged to have stolen almost 2,000 artifacts from the museum's collections and offered them for sale online, UK media have reported.

The Independent reported that the museum filed the lawsuit on Tuesday. The report cited lawyers for the museum as saying that Higgs, who was fired in 2023 after over 1,8000 items disappeared, "abused his position of trust" to steal the artifacts from storerooms over a decade.
