(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, Le Figaro reported this.

The law enforcement authorities in the city of Langres, located in the Haute-Marne department, discovered a break-in at the Denis Diderot House of Enlightenment museum.

The perpetrators had forced open the entrance door and smashed a display case, which police officers found upon arrival at the scene. Only a set of silver and gold coins-unearthed in November 2011 during renovation work at the site-was stolen.

Investigators are currently considering the incident as a carefully planned theft. The Denis Diderot House of Enlightenment museum will remain closed until further notice.

Private security will now monitor the museum site overnight.
