The burglars forced the entrance door of the historical building at the Zaanse Schans, but were detected quickly because of the security system. This did not prevent them from stealing two valuable Dutch table clocks and seriously damage a third one. For any relevant information which could help to recapture these clocks, please contact the museum at telephone number 0331 (0)75-6179769 or mnuurwerk@planet.nl. |
