Historic German museum looted of millions of dollars worth of valuables in possible record heist
A historic museum in Germany has been looted of potentially millions of dollars worth of valuables in a brazen overnight heist in the city of Dresden.
The burglars are believed to have broken through an iron window grate to gain entry, Dresden police said in a statement. The perpetrators allegedly set fire to a power box in order to turn off the power which would shut down the alarm systems. According to the police in a press conference given on Monday, the looters cut through the bars covering the window to the treasury and then entered. The museum alarm sounded at 4:59 a.m. on Monday morning, and although police were on the scene by 5:04 a.m., the looters had already managed to escape.
"There is nowhere in any other collection in Europe jewels or jewels set that have been preserved in this form and quality and quantity as these royal sets," said Dirk Syndram, the director of the Green Vault at the Dresden State Art Collections at the press conference.
