THE British Museum is asking the public to help recover missing items from its collection.
It announced in August that 2,000 artefacts were found to have been taken, and a police investigation is under way.

It revealed that 60 items have been returned, with a further 300 imminent.

He said the museum did not have a complete catalogue of everything in its collection.
