Two people in Poland claim to have found a long-lost train carrying a cargo of gold, gems and weapons.
The train, which was said to be laden with hundreds of tons of gold, allegedly disappeared near to the city of Wroclaw in Poland in 1945 just as the Soviets were advancing on the country.
For more than 60 years the final whereabouts of the locomotive remained something of a mystery but now two men in Poland have come forward claiming that they know exactly where it is and will reveal its location to local authorities in exchange for a percentage of its cargo's value.
Early indications suggest that the train could be 150m long with more than 300 tonnes of gold on board however at this point it isn't clear if it really has been found or if the whole thing is a hoax.
City officials in Walbrzych have since formed an emergency committee to investigate the claims.
"Lawyers, the army, the police and the fire brigade are dealing with this," said council official Marika Tokarska. "The area has never been excavated before and we don't know what we might find."
