The lightning raid at Green Vault left investigators baffled even though security camera footage showed two men breaking in through a barred window.

BERLIN - German police offered a reward of half a million euros on Thursday for clues that would help them find mystery robbers who smashed their way into a Dresden museum and made off with a haul of 18th century jewellery in one of Germany's biggest heists.

"We will stop at nothing to solve this case," the president of Saxony police, Horst Kretzschmar, and prosecutor Klaus Roevekamp said in a statement. Footage shows two men smashing a display cabinet containing jewellery with a hammer. Security guards saw the incident and quickly rang the police who arrived five minutes later but it was too late.
