According to Sky News, the alleged criminals took the devices from a minimum security institution in the Dutch town of Hoorn, near Amsterdam.

The prison, described as "a very modestly protected environment", is used for criminals coming to the end of their sentences and often permits weekends away.

The incidents took place during two seperate weekends in March and April.

A police spokeswoman confirmed that no arrests have yet been made and it is not yet known how the burglars entered the prison.
