Yogyakarta Police says it has asked the International Police to help investigate the theft of 80 gold artefacts from the Sonobudoyo museum collection.
Police detective Syaiful Anwar said Thursday the international police assistance was needed in case the stolen items were smuggled abroad, kompas.com reported.
The collection, which was stolen last August, included a gold mask, 19 gold plates, a gold statue and jewelry.
