Accused men say it was easy to break into Dresden’s Green Vault treasury and remove 21 items
During one of these trips the men noticed a corner window of the vault that could be opened without triggering the alarm system.
The men then secured power plans for Dresden’s old town and tracked back the jewel vault’s electricity supply to a nearby transformer box. “I smashed the [display case] glass with an axe and threw things in a bag,” said Rabieh Remmo. He damaged rare diamond and pearl jewels as he ripped them from their displays.
Two security staff saw the thieves on museum cameras but instead of hitting a special alarm button, they dialled the police emergency number, 110. Within five minutes police were at the scene but the thieves were already gone.
