Investigative success after the burglary in the Green Vault in Dresden around three years ago: the police and public prosecutor’s office seized some of the jewels.
Around three years after the burglary in the Green Vault in Dresden, the investigators found most of the loot. 31 individual parts were secured in Berlin on Saturday night, informed the police and prosecutors.
Jewels from the Green Vault in Dresden are back
The secured pieces were brought to Dresden accompanied by special police forces. In the Saxon state capital, they should first be examined forensically. Afterwards, experts from the Dresden State Art Collections should check them for authenticity and completeness.

Police are looking for perpetrators from Dresden – and these precious jewels
As the investigators said, the discovery of the valuable pieces preceded exploratory talks with the lawyers of the alleged burglars. A trial against six suspects for serious gang theft, arson and particularly serious arson has been underway in Dresden since the beginning of the year.
The Dresden Residenzschloss was broken into on November 25, 2019. The perpetrators punched holes in a display case with an ax and ripped out the jewels.
More on this shortly at this point.
