Less than a month after the first arrests in connection with the Green Vault jewelery theft in Dresden, police arrested another wanted suspect. He is one of the twins of a well-known Berlin clan of Arab origin that was sought out internationally. The 21-year-old was arrested in Berlin, said a spokesman for the Dresden police situation center.

The Berlin police confirmed that the arrest took place on Monday evening in the Neukölln district by a special task force (SEK). The newspaper “Bild” and the “BZ” had previously reported. According to the report, the man was captured in an apartment building on Jahnstrasse. Consequently, he wanted to meet a friend there and thus came into the crosshairs of civilian investigators. More details are due to be announced Tuesday. The search for the second twin continues.

In one of the most spectacular raids in decades, strangers stole art treasures of barely measurable value from the famous Green Vault treasure in Dresden on November 25, 2019. Within minutes they stole historic jewels from an exhibition cabinet. They then fled in a car which they later set on fire.

On November 17, Dresden and Berlin police arrested three suspected men aged 23, 23 and 26 from the extended family in a raid. They were arrested in Dresden.

However, the raid failed: Although the police had been watching them for a long time, the twins escaped from the police that night. They were then searched with their names and photographs. All of the suspects are charged with robbery and aggravated arson. According to the researchers, you belong to a well-known Berlin clan of Arab origin. Members of the family were also convicted of other major crimes, such as the theft of gold coins from the Bode Museum in Berlin in 2017.
