Romanian Woman Denies Involvement in Drents Museum Heist Amid Police Investigation
In a dramatic turn of events, a Romanian woman has come forward to deny any involvement in the high-profile theft of ancient treasures from the Drents Museum in assen. The woman, who moved to the Netherlands five years ago with her Turkish-born partner, claims her home was raided by police, who seized two cars, mobile phones, and even household items like bed linen and carpets.
The search occurred on Tuesday evening, just next to the location where Chesley Wendersteyt and his girlfriend were arrested the following day. Wendersteyt is one of three Dutch suspects from Heerhugowaard who have been apprehended in connection with the heist. The police have publicly identified two of the suspects, including Wendersteyt and Bernhard Zeeman, as part of their ongoing investigation.
Despite the intense scrutiny, the Romanian woman insists she is not a suspect. “They told me three times that I am not a suspect,” she told reporters. “But they also made it clear that if we didn’t let our apartment be searched,they would have a search order.” The raid involved twenty forensic experts and lasted from 10 PM to 5 AM.
The woman, who works at a local hotel, plans to file a complaint against the police and involve the Romanian embassy. She and her partner both deny any connection to the theft of the golden helmet of Cotofenesti and gold bracelets from the dacia exhibition.
The investigation into the Drents Museum heist has taken several twists,with authorities now searching for a fourth suspect,a man captured on camera at a hardware store in Assen. Public Prosecutor Debby Homans has suggested that the robbery may have been commissioned, adding another layer of complexity to the case.
Meanwhile, the stolen artifacts remain missing, and Dutch entrepreneur Alex van Breemen has offered a €100,000 reward for their safe return.
