Officials continue the search for thieves who orchestrated a heist in Dresden, Germany, stealing precious diamonds and jewels from one of the world's oldest museums. Police say it's unlikely the robbers were amateurs.
Dresden, Germany, is still reeling more than a day after a spectacular heist in which robbers made off with precious diamonds and jewels from one of the world's oldest museums.
CCTV footage released by Dresden police shows two suspects entering the room, their flashlight beams flailing, as they step across the black-and-white-tiled floor of the ornate chamber. Then they shatter a glass display case with an ax before taking three sets of jewelry from the 1700s.Police announced on Tuesday that an electrical fire at a juncture near the museum had caused a power outage on the street, which may have helped the suspects enter the building unnoticed.
The suspects had about one minute after destroying the case to take all they could, slipping away with three of the museum's 10 complete jewelry sets, Syndram added. Authorities have released images of 10 of the stolen pieces, including delicate bejeweled items like buttons and cuff links, as well as a diamond-encrusted sword. One of the stolen jewelry sets belonged to the queen of Saxony herself, according to the museum's leadership.
