Romanian, UK, and Italian authorities have arrested 15 suspects involved in the theft of about 260 rare books from a warehouse in Feltham, London in January 2017. The books belonged to three dealers and were destined for the California International Antiquarian Book Fair. The suspects are members of an international organized crime group “known for committing a large number of burglaries throughout Europe.”

ILAB maintains a list of stolen books here.
