Stolen treasures found at Australian museum

(UPDATE) SYDNEY: Italian art detectives have found stolen ancient treasures at a leading Australian university, including an artefact likely smuggled out of the country under piles of pasta, the institution said Friday.

Australian National University (ANU) said Friday it was working with the 'specialist art squad' of Italy's Carabinieri military police to return the priceless pieces.
