5:02 pm
took place in the early hours of monday morning the looting clues priceless early 18th century jewelry the state museum is home to around $4000.00 dog jacks made of ivory gold so and jewels dressed ins greenfeld museum homes are one of europe's greatest collections of treasures now it's a crime scene after burglars snatch several sets of early 18th century jewelry including diamonds and rubies dressed in police say the thieves entered through a window went straight to a display cabinet which they then smashed before making off with the treasure. come on we were told that 2 burgers can be seen on the cameras installed in the jewel room. when the police arrived no one was the. emergency services arrived at the scene shortly after 5 am to find smoke billowing
5:03 pm
out of the vault authorities suspect that the perpetrators could have the electricity to enter the treasure chamber. the collection in dresden was founded in the 18th century by august just the strong elector of saxony and later king of poland the jewels here a priceless. kindness garnished and we can't put a value on these items as they are unmarketable therefore this simply isn't a value that we can work with there is no financial value we can work with with the jewelry to identifiable to sell in the open market the museum fears that the pieces might be broken up all melted down. the stolen jewels survived the bombings in world war 2 who were carted off as beauty by the soviet union and were returned here in 1958 now dresden is hoping for their return from the hands of the thieves who vanished without a trace. well to try and unpick this mystery
5:04 pm
a little bit more i'm joined here in the studio by d.w. cultures of scots and in this and in dresden i should say is all very own are until today welcome to you both sound i'm going to start with you bring us up to date with the latest do we know anything more about the suspects at this stage. well at this hour just look over my shoulder you might be able to see forensics teams are still working within the building now we've been observing them for the last several hours and basically what they're trying to establish is how the suspects were able to gain access to the building so quickly and maybe any clues which could help us understand who the identities of these robbers may actually be i mean as you heard the report there well you know so far just around 5 o'clock in the morning that the police were informed by security guards the 2 men had broken into the building once they arrived these the men had already left but because of security footage from the cameras inside the building we know that 2 men are currently being sought police have also said that there may have been additional accomplices there are reports of
5:05 pm
a getaway vehicle that was actually waiting for them outside the building and currently the police are saying that may indicate there may have been additional accomplices beyond the 2 who were seen on that security footage from the sun within the building. this isn't any old heist i mean this collection has such a history tell us about it yeah i mean we heard a little bit in the report i mean this this is a collection that was created the 18th century by august the strongest the 2nd was the elector of sex the became the king of poland later and essentially essentially . but but what the strong was doing at the time is he was in sort of a a jules race with the sun king louis the 14th of france trying to be even more ostentatious have a more beautiful and amazing collection of of jewelry and that's what what he and then his successors created this this incredible treasure one of the one of the greatest not just in europe but around the world i mean perhaps the equivalent would be to compare it to the the crown jewels in it's a symbol and also has
5:06 pm
a similar cultural meaning i mean this is why i think people are so upset and almost traumatized in saxony by this robbery because it's as if someone stolen a part of their cultural identity absolutely is not just about the the way it's also about that cultural values are and it seems that these thieves had quite an in-depth knowledge all of this building surely this raises questions now about security. well it certainly does but the question is how much inside information were they actually pervy to know just prior to that 5 am emergency call which went into security forces a small fire was reported on a power box just around the corner from the group the green vault here in dresden and there's been some speculation that the blackout that that cause may have been used by the thieves to actually bypass some of the security systems on the outside of the building now according to security camera footage it also does appear that they went specifically to one display clase indicating that they actually knew
5:07 pm
directly where the the jewels were that they were looking for and also another fire reported slower shortly after the break in is also raising questions now the fire department found a small vehicle located not too far away in central dresden that were all the doors were open it smelled of gas and had been lit on fire and there are speculations that this may have been an attempt to cover their tracks basically burning out the escape vehicle that was used to bring them outside of the building outside of dresden so really a lot of open questions here and another i think question then t.v. scott i mean what happens now because one might imagine that this kind of high profile swag is fatty recognizable yeah it seems impossible that whoever committed this act could sell this of the open market or even on the black mark these are very very well known pieces will be impossible no reputable dealer would would would touch these stones. there are a couple of possibilities they've been speculated about the the police obviously aren't saying anything now the investigation is still going on one of the
5:08 pm
possibilities perhaps the worst is that these the thieves will just break down these pieces take up stones maybe cut them melt down the gold and sell it for the value of the material which as we've heard is a is a tiny fraction of the the cultural value that would be associated with this there although so other possibilities though as we heard it seem like the thieves went directly for a certain pieces of the pieces that they stole were personal jewelry of august a strong a sort of that they used to wear on his on his person. theoretically possible that this could have been a robbery for hire that some or wealthy person of dubious moral standards ordered the thieves to to seize this julie for him one of the possible has been raised was was addressed at the press conference but the police refused to go into detail on was that there could be a ransom of this jewelry by the thieves but we'll know a lot in the coming hours and i. think ins from the culture scott rocks for at the crime scene for us in a dazed and over an hour until tim thank you to us. well
5:09 pm

5:10 pm
key leaked document lays out how they should be run it states the inmates are not allowed any contact with the outside world owning a mobile phone is strictly forbidden the camp should be under constant video surveillance to prevent escape the papers also describe a scoring system that grades detainees on how well they speak mandarin and memorize state sanctioned ideology the documents back up testimony of former detainees like zome already do wattie the business woman was detained after being stopped by police and questioned over a u.s. visa in her passport or the year in class they would tell us that we had been poisoned by religion that islam is an infectious disease that came from abroad. and that if there needed to be a religion in china it must be buddhism. former detainees have also confirmed the harsh disciplinary regime detailed in the leaked papers. we had to talk
