K.J. Yossman Thieves have stolen over $200,000 worth of props from the set of Netflix series “The Crown” while the production was shooting nearby.Over 350 items were taken during the heist, including a replica Fabergé egg, a grandfather clock clockface, a dressing table, crystal glassware and silver and gold candelabras.South Yorkshire police are investigating the theft, which took place in a lorry park in Mexborough in Yorkshire while a unit were shooting nearby.Although the incident will not affect production, Netflix have issued a plea to help recover the items.“We can confirm the antiques have been stolen and we hope that they are found and returned safely,” a spokesperson for Netflix told Variety. “Replacements will be sourced, there is no expectation that filming will be held up.” In a bid to recover the items should the thieves attempt to sell them, the studio gave a description of some of them to weekly publication Antiques Trade Gazette.
They include:“The items stolen are not necessarily in the best condition and therefore of limited value for resale,” Alison Harvey, “The Crown’s” set decorator, told the Gazette.
