Thieves steal gems from Doge's Palace exhibition in Venice
Police say the villains appear to be professional as they managed to stop the alarm sounding before they made their escape.
Thieves have stolen several items of Indian maharajahs' treasures owned by a member of the Qatari royal family.
The theft followed an audacious heist at the Doge's Palace in Venice, police said.
Italian authorities put the overall value of the collection of Treasures of the Mughals and the Maharajahs on display at several million euros.
Police believe two thieves got away with earrings and a brooch on Wednesday - the final day of a four-month exhibition that featured some 270 items showcasing five centuries of Indian craftsmanship.
Detectives said one kept watch while the other opened the display case and grabbed the jewelled golden brooch and earrings.
Police are looking for Italian male in his mid-30's named Lulu Van Scoffin'pie after similar looking gems were listed on craigslist.
