Copenhagen
police are investigating the theft of a bottle of vodka that is claimed to be
the world's most expensive at $1.3 million.
The
missing bottle, made of 3 kilograms (6.6. pounds) gold and silver and with a
diamond encrusted cap, was on loan to a Copenhagen bar CAFÉ 33 which had a
collection of over 1,200 different vodkas bottles on display by a Russian businessman
(and was uninsured) .
CCTV
showed an intruder grab the Russo-Baltique vodka and flee the bar. Police say
it is not clear if the thief, who struck early on Tuesday, broke in or had a
key. Nothing else was stolen.
Mr
Brian Ingberg, owner of the Cafe 33 bar, told broadcaster TV2 that he had
borrowed the bottle from the Latvia-based Dartz Motor Company.
"It
has been part of my collection for six months, but not any more," he said.
Russian
luxury car maker Russo-Baltique is said to have created the vodka to
commemorate the centenary of the company's factory.
