The gold heist that left traces in British jewelry
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
When armed robbers hit the Brink's-Mat warehouse in 1983, they stole so much bullion they accidentally changed the chemical makeup of global jewelry. The thieves melted the stolen gold down with loose copper coins to disguise its origin, creating a distinct impurity trace that implies almost anyone who bought gold jewelry in the UK in the late eighties is wearing stolen loot.
One discovery leads to another.
