BERLIN—Thieves carried out a heist Monday at Dresden’s Green Vault, one of the world’s oldest museums, making off with three “priceless” sets of jewelry from the 18th century that German officials said would be impossible to sell on the open market.
Police said they were alerted shortly before 5 a.m. (local time) to a break-in at the museum and officers arrived at the scene within minutes. No suspects have yet been detained but authorities are reviewing footage captured by security cameras.
