		</div><p>Organised crime groups were likely behind the theft of a huge hoard of ancient gold coins from a museum in southern Germany this week, officials have said.</p>
<p>The 483 coins were discovered in 1999 during excavations of an ancient settlement near the present-day town of Manching in Bavaria, and were on display at the local Celtic and Roman Museum.</p>
<p>Bavaria’s minister of science and arts, Markus Blume, told public broadcaster BR: “It’s clear that you don’t simply march into a museum and take this treasure with you.</p>
<p>“It’s highly secured and as such there’s a suspicion that we’re rather dealing with a case of organised crime.”</p>
<p>Mr Blume said that all of the museum’s security systems, along with Manching’s entire telephone network, had been disabled during the heist.</p>
<p>German news agency dpa reported that in addition to the 483 coins, dating back to around 100BC, three other items were stolen from a second display cabinet.</p>
<p>Authorities fear the treasure, worth millions of euro, could be melted down, meaning the bowl-shaped coins would be lost to science.</p>
<p>Police and prosecutors planned to hold a news conference in Manching on Wednesday afternoon.</p>
