Authorities in Germany claim to have found a sizable portion of the 18th-century artefacts that were taken in a spectacular break-in more than three years ago from Dresden's Green Vault museum.

According to prosecutors and police, 31 objects, including "a few sections that look to be complete," were found throughout Berlin over the course of the night.

They were transported to Dresden, more than 160 kilometres (100 miles) away, where police and later representatives of the organisation in charge of the city's art treasures will evaluate their integrity and authenticity.

Authorities claimed some notable things are still missing.

I remain hopeful that the wound opened in the historic Green Vault in the 2019 robbery will soon be closed


The particular location and circumstances of the goods' discovery were not disclosed in Saturday's statement.

However, they said that preliminary discussions on a potential settlement that would include the return of stolen property were held between the prosecution and the defence in an ongoing trial over the theft before the discovery.

In addition, they stated that they were unable to provide any additional details before to Tuesday's scheduled trial session.

In January, six individuals were found guilty in Dresden of gang robbery and arson in connection with the incident that occurred on November 25, 2019.

The suspects, both of German descent, are charged with stealing jewellery with a combined insured value of at least 113.8 million euros (£99 million). 

At the time, officials reported that the stolen artefacts included a sizable diamond brooch and a diamond epaulette.

Established in 1723, the treasury of Augustus the Strong of Saxony houses some 4,000 items made of gold, gems, and other materials that are on exhibit in Dresden's Royal Palace.

The suspects allegedly started a fire soon before the break-in to turn off the electricity to the street lights outside the museum and then set fire to a car in a nearby garage before fleeing to Berlin, according to the prosecution.

Barbara Klepsch, the regional minister for culture in Saxony, stated that authorities are awaiting the opinion of specialists before learning the state of the retrieved artefacts.

In a statement, Ms. Klepsch expressed her optimism that the hole created by the 2019 robbery in the historic Green Vault would soon be closed.

This demonstrates that even three years after this traumatic break-in, it is worthwhile to hold onto hope and pursue any leads that present itself.
