A stolen bottle of vodka thought to be the world’s most expensive at $1.3m (\u00a3960,000) has been found empty on a construction site, Danish police say.<\/p>\n
The bottle, made from gold and silver and with a diamond encrusted cap, was on loan to a Copenhagen bar which had a collection of vodkas on display.<\/p>\n
CCTV released on Wednesday showed an intruder, who grabbed the Russo-Baltique vodka and fled the bar.<\/p>\n
The bottle was found unbroken on a construction site in the city.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know what happened with the vodka, but the bottle was empty”, Riad Tooba, spokesman for the Copenhagen police, told AFP news agency.<\/p>\n
Brian Ingberg, owner of the Cafe 33 bar, said the bottle was still valued at the same price.<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately, it’s empty. It is one of those working on the construction site that has found it”, he told Danish tabloid newspaper Ekstra Bladet.<\/p>\n
“I feel fantastic. The vodka god saved us,” he added.<\/p>\n
Mr Ingberg said he had more of the vodka that was previously in the bottle so planned to refill it and put it back on display.<\/p>\n
After it was stolen early on Tuesday, he told broadcaster TV2 that he had borrowed the bottle from the Latvia-based Dartz Motor Company.<\/p>\n
“It has been part of my collection for six months, but not anymore,” he said.<\/p>\n
Russian luxury car maker Russo-Baltique is said to have created the vodka to commemorate the centenary of the company’s factory.<\/p>\n
The front of the bottle is decorated with leather and has a replica of the radiator guard used for Russo-Baltique cars.<\/p>\n
The cap is shaped like a a Russian imperial eagle and is encrusted with diamonds.<\/p>\n
Mr Ingberg said the bottle had featured in an episode of House of Cards as a gift from the Russian president to his US counterpart.<\/p>\n
