Bucharest police spokesman Christian Ciocan told MEDIAFAX Thursday the break-in occurred around 3 a.m.. The stolen gold is worth nearly 700,000 lei (EUR1=RON4.2842), Ciocan said.

He added the store owners had been warned three weeks ago when a police check-up revealed their security measures were defective.

Ciocan also said the Bucharest police is considering calling for legislation harshening punishments for company owners who fail to provide appropriate security for their valuables.
