Four people have been arrested in Germany over the theft of a hoard of Celtic gold coins worth about €1.6m (£1.4m).

Hundreds of coins were taken from a museum in Manching, Bavaria, during a night raid in November.

Many of them dated from around the 1st Century BC.

The authorities say there is “overwhelming evidence” in the case and that investigations are continuing. More details are expected on Thursday.
