Antique diamond jewellery worth around one billion euro was stolen in a heist in Germany yesterday.

A gang of thieves broke into the Green Vault museum in Dresden and made off with three sets of  'priceless' of early 18th-century jewellery.

The robbers avoided the building's security system by setting fire to a power relay under a nearby bridge.

The electricity supply to the building had to be cut to put out the fire so no alarms would go off  and the men got in through a grilled window.

Security camera footage shows the men smashing display cases before making off with the valuables.

It's feared that the thieves will melt down the pieces and sell off the diamonds.
