Thieves have raided a German museum stealing jewels and treasures worth up to €1 billion.
Intruders managed to break into the Green Vault museum in Dresden by cutting the electricity supply and deactivating the security system.
Police are still trying to work out which items are missing and there have so far been no arrests, the Mirror reports.
The museum's collection was founded by August the Strong, Elector of Saxony and later King of Poland, in the 18th century.
One of its best known treasures is the 41-carat Dresden "Green Diamond" - which was away on loan to New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art at the time of the break-in.
Other exhibits include a sculpture of an Indian royal court made out of gold, silver, enamel, precious stones and pearls, and a 1701 golden coffee service decorated with lounging cherubs.
The treasures of the Green Vault survived Allied bombing raids in World War Two, only to be carted off as war booty by the Soviet Union.
They were returned to Dresden, the historic capital of the state of Saxony, in 1958.
Dresden Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer said: "Not only were the state art collections burgled, but the people of Saxony too".
"The valuables housed in the Green Vault and Residenzschloss were acquired by people in the Saxony Free State with difficulty, over many centuries."
