there are Still no hard leads to the perpetrators, the police continued on Tuesday, the search for traces at the crime scene. Two Unknown were invaded early Monday morning in the highly secured “Green vault” in Dresden’s residential Palace and had numerous pieces of jewelry with diamonds and brilliant from the 18. Century stolen. Even Museum Director Dirk Syndram does not know the full extent yet. A comprehensive inventory was only after the end of the forensics, he said. What is known about the sequence of events so far:
How the perpetrator came to the treasure chamber?
investigators know so far is that the perpetrators entered through a barred and with a security glass fitted pane of the precious hall to the residence castle in the middle of the old town, in a targeted manner and with a flashlight that is equipped into the dark Gem there is one of the display cases with an ax smashed. The bulletproof glass-protected display case held the tools of the two robbers. Why, that was the subject of the investigation, said Museum Director Syndram. This last part of the slump is to be seen on a surveillance video, published by the police.
what has been the response of the security personnel of the Museum?
Two security guards that had in the Central service, observed the burglars in the act on the monitors and informed the police. To 4.59 PM, the emergency call was there. Five minutes later, the first radio car on the strip on the spot, the perpetrators of but and of it – obviously, they ran off back through the window. The guards have chosen the emergency number 110, but not the alarm button made. Whether or not this may time was lost, to catch the thieves, is still unclear.
Why this has not interfered with the security personnel themselves?
“people go in front of everything else. This is in all the museums of the world, and also our principle.” This record of Marion Ackermann, Director-General of the Dresden State art collections said on Monday at a joint press conference with the investigating authorities. Therefore, the guards would inform the police first and not even have to look it up.
men do not intervene That the awake self, was in fact usual, said Eckart Köhne, President German museums Association, the German press Agency. “The perpetrators go sometimes with great brutality.” The potential for Violence is very high “and the security guards are not trained single fighters”. As initially announced, were armed guards. Details were not called.
Had the two burglars for more helpers?
on Monday, the police had assumed that a getaway car was ready. Early Tuesday afternoon, the investigators stated that they had confirmed the notes accordingly. Accordingly, the perpetrators escaped in an Audi A6 from the crime scene. A short time later they had the car in an underground garage at the kötzsch Broder street set on fire. In the wreckage of the vehicle they have found traces from the crime scene, it was said.
it is also clear that there was castle at the time of the break-in stick dark at Dresden. Since a short time before an electric distribution burned close to the castle, illuminated not a street light. Since the junction box was apparently set intentionally on fire, the investigators that the perpetrators acted deliberately to get unnoticed into the castle. How many perpetrators were involved in the break-in, a total, however, is still open.
Had knowledge of the perpetrators of insider?
Also, this question has not yet been clarified. On the Internet, the State art collections of Dresden occurs, there is also a virtual tour through the “Green vault”. The jewel room is considered to be the most magnificent room of the collection. In four high-tech showcases various treasures with brilliant-cut diamonds, diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires.
there Were also security arrangements, which have seized?
Yes. “From a display case with three sets of relatively many works are still in love,” said Director-General Ackermann on Monday evening in the ZDF. “The perpetrators could not take everything with us, because all of the objects were also attached individually, they were with stitches sewn with the ground.” Ackermann spoke of a “very complex” security system in the residence castle. There are several alarms had been triggered”, when the break-in itself, by the motion detector in the room, at the breaking up of the Cabinet and the police have been informed of at the first Alarm.” The safety concept will now be checked again. “Surely it must be examined how the security could be increased.” Museum of the Federal President Eckart Köhne also saw the fact that the intrusion was noticed and recorded it on Video, as a sign that the security measures would be resorted to. “It has not gone unnoticed, what to do,” he said.
How high is the damage caused by the theft?
Still is still not quite clear how many pieces have been stolen, the thieves from the three jewelry sets. The police has released ten photos of some pieces. However, it is clear that much more than the ten parts of the brilliant and diamond sets are missing, said Syndram. “I don’t know that some objects are in place. But I can’t tell you how it looks on the bottom of the Cabinet.” Clarity can only bring an inventory.
the value of The Diebesguts cannot be quantified, said Director-General Ackermann on Monday. The special significance lies less in the material than in the completeness of the ensemble.
when can I visit the Green vault again?
For the Public is the historical Green vault in the Dresden city, not the castle for the time being, be accessible. The MDR Museum Director Dirk Syndram said that the collection will probably stay closed for a longer period of time.
