Rhino horn thieves staging a museum break-in were foiled by staff who had replaced the £240,000 rare specimens with replicas. The models were put in place three months ago following a string of similar raids across Britain and Europe. But while real horn is worth around £50,000 a kilo, the fakes stolen from the Natural History Museum at Tring, in Hertfordshire, have no financial value.
