00:06
most renowned museums police in Dresden
00:09
say the break-in at the green vaults of
00:11
the city's royal palace took place in
00:14
the early hours of Monday morning police
00:16
haven't yet confirmed what exactly has
00:18
been stolen but the loot apparently
00:20
includes three priceless sets of
00:22
jewellery Dresden's prized collection of
00:25
historical treasures includes crown
00:26
jewels and bowls carved out of crystal
00:32
and we have our correspondents following
00:35
the latest on this story for STW smacks
00:37
ammonia Koscheck is with us and Scott
00:40
Roxboro here in studio good to have you
00:42
both max let's start with you
00:43
authorities have been holding a press
00:45
conference what more do we know about
00:47
what happened yes so authorities have so
00:50
far been trying to reconstruct the heist
00:53
that was taking place in the early hours
00:54
of Monday morning they've been able to
00:57
obtain some video footage from the
01:00
museum to look at how the heist has
01:03
happened and so far what we know is that
01:05
at around 5 a.m. in the morning the
01:07
security system was alerted and that the
01:10
security services have been giving the
01:12
alert further to the police authorities
01:14
and according to the footage that police
01:18
authorities have been now looking at two
01:20
suspects have been entering the jewelery
01:22
room which is one of 10 rooms of their
01:25
green vault this priced treasure
01:27
chambers interest and they've been
01:30
entering the jeweler room through a
01:31
window breaking in and then aiming
01:34
straight for one cabinet where
01:35
jewelleries have been on display they
01:38
have been taking as far as we know three
01:41
complete jewellery sets so that is like
01:43
a set of jewelry collections and they
01:46
have been taking three of those as a
01:48
complete set and then left a probably by
01:52
car authorities now suspect and am
01:54
leaving over the highway so police have
01:56
now installed Highway Patrol's trying to
01:59
find those suspects and also been
02:02
talking to Berlin authorities here in
02:04
the capital because in 2017 another very
02:07
spectacular heist has been taking place
02:09
not far from the German government
02:11
district in the ball
02:13
and hundred kilogram gold coin had been
02:17
stolen in broad daylight
02:19
so now authorities indrasen are talking
02:21
to the authorities in Berlin to see if
02:23
there's any connection to the both hice
02:25
Scott let's talk about this collection
02:28
because it has an impressive history
02:30
tell us more about this collection yeah
02:32
I mean this is sort of comparable to
02:34
something like the crown jewels in in in
02:36
London I mean this was a collection it
02:38
was created by August the strong august
02:40
ii who set up in the late in the early
02:43
18th century 1723 - 1730 and he was sort
02:47
of in competition with louis xiv in
02:49
france to try and create the most
02:50
extravagant impressive opulent
02:53
collection of jewelry and and and and
02:57
priceless goods and so this collection
03:00
that's one almost unique in the world
03:03
it's an incredible treasure trove and
03:06
the they made the point that these
03:10
pieces of course are very valuable that
03:12
have been stolen but they're their
03:14
actual value and historical value it is
03:17
completely priceless thing and cannot be
03:18
measured a lot of people are probably
03:20
wondering how such an exquisite
03:22
collection could have been targeted at
03:25
all and police have been talking about
03:27
that as well in their press conference
03:28
about the theft let's listen in what's
03:34
clear to us is that the perpetrators
03:36
entered the building through a window
03:37
facing Palace square they cut through
03:42
the bars on the window and smashed the
03:44
glass they then targeted a specific
03:47
display case which they shattered they
03:51
then fled the building and disappeared
03:54
we don't take the boy to house all right
03:59
max coming back to you you were
04:01
listening in to the press conference
04:02
what more did police say about how such
04:04
of that could have happened yes so
04:08
police authorities as well as securities
04:10
are quite flabbergasted that this house
04:12
could have been taking place now the
04:15
green world has been a treasure trove
04:18
for over 300 years and so nothing in
04:20
that sort had happened before some have
04:22
compared the security measures at the
04:24
Greenwald similar to Fort Knox the
04:26
u.s. American treasure chamber where
04:28
they keep the gold reserves of the
04:30
United States and one thing that seems
04:32
to be particular about the kc of the
04:34
heist and dressen is that the
04:36
perpetrators seemed to have been able to
04:38
damage the electricity box that was
04:40
connected to the alarm system they've
04:42
been using a fire to damage that box
04:45
that then caused the fire electricity
04:47
outage in the museum and therefore
04:49
didn't make the alarm go off as far as
04:52
we know by the authorities all right and
04:55
Scott listening to that you know what
04:56
does happen now it's a it's a big
04:58
question I mean the pieces are
04:59
incredibly well known of this the this
05:02
work is incredibly well known so selling
05:03
it on the open market for the thieves
05:04
would probably impossible at least
05:06
that's what the art historians hope
05:08
theoretically they these pieces could be
05:10
broken down and sold for their value as
05:12
diamonds but we heard today from the
05:15
press conference that that would be a
05:17
fraction of their their true value
05:19
another possibility that was raised
05:21
though there's no evidence that this is
05:23
going to happen is that the thieves
05:24
could try to auction this jewelry back
05:27
to the state of dread of Saxon to have
05:31
them buy back their treasures any of
05:35
this is is possible we hope though that
05:37
of course these pieces will be recovered
05:39
in their original state and that they
05:40
will pretty store it to their rightful
05:42
place at the Museum yeah meanwhile the
05:44
investigations continue all right our
05:46
correspondent sir Scott broxbourne
05:47
studio and Maximiliano Koscheck thank
05:49
you both
