In one of the most spectacular raids in decades, almost a year ago historic jewels were stolen from the Dresden Green Vault. Now the Berlin police have arrested three suspects.
Almost a year after the spectacular art robbery at the Dresden Green Vault, police arrested three suspects in Berlin that morning. The defendants were charged with serious gang robbery and arson in two cases, the Dresden prosecutor said. The detainees are urgently suspected German citizens and must appear before the examining magistrate today.
According to the police and the prosecution, more than 1,600 police officers under the leadership of Soko “Epaulette” are involved in the large-scale operation. Currently 18 properties are being registered, including ten apartments, garages and vehicles. The focus of the operation is “the search for stolen art treasures and possible evidence such as storage media, clothing and tools,” the Saxon police said on Twitter.

Theft of jewels in the Green Vault
Stolen art treasures of barely measurable value
At the end of November 2019, unknown persons penetrated through a window into the Green Vault, the famous treasury of the residential palace of the Saxon capital. Within minutes, art treasures of barely measurable value were stolen from a display cabinet, including baroque jewelery made of gold, diamonds and diamonds. They then fled in a car which they later set on fire.
Due to the police operation, considerable traffic restrictions can be expected throughout the day in Berlin. In addition to the Saxony emergency services, the special forces of the federal government and the states of Baden-Württemberg, Berlin, Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia are also involved in the measures.
