German police have arrested one of the fugitive twin brothers wanted in connection with a dramatic heist that targeted one of Europe’s largest treasure collections. Officials said 21-year-old Mohammed Remmo was arrested in Berlin. He is the fourth suspect to be detained over last year’s heist at Dresden’s Green Vault museum. The suspects are accused of stealing more than a dozen diamond-encrusted items. Officials said it was impossible to value the items, simply calling them “priceless”. Saxony’s ruler, Augustus the Strong, created the collection in 1723 in what is one of the world’s oldest museums. Police said they arrested Mr Remmo in the German capital on Monday night, and that he was being brought to the eastern city of Dresden on Tuesday. The search for his twin brother, Abdul Majed Remmo, was continuing with “high intensity”, they said.(BBC)…[+]
