The thieves entered through a window

So said the senior prosecutor Jürgen Schmidt, spokesman for the Dresden prosecutor, the RBB station and the “T-Online” portal. Consequently, the recordings would have made it possible to identify the suspects. An Audi used to prepare for the crime could also be assigned to the alleged perpetrators. In the vehicle, which later burned, the researchers found traces of DNA thanks to new techniques, according to the “Bild-Zeitung.”

According to him, the analysis of photographs taken in and in the residential palace provided information about the crime, its preparation and the subsequent escape of the perpetrators. A Mercedes that looked like a taxi could also be identified. The perpetrators fled to Berlin with him.

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.

The SIM cards were used in the preparation of the crime and also during the robbery for agreements between the perpetrators, it was said at the time.
