Overview
- New footage from the adjacent parking garage shows masked suspects lifting a barrier and paying at a ticket machine as a black Audi RS6 and a white van depart, with the Audi bearing plates stolen in Hanover.
- Police say they are analyzing dozens of tips, reviewing video and witness reports, and pursuing multiple leads, including a tentative Netherlands connection reported by media, with no arrests announced.
- Detectives believe the crew entered from the garage, moved through doors into an archive room, and bored a hole with a core drill into the steel‑reinforced vault wall over the Christmas period.
- A prior alarm on Saturday drew responders who found no damage, while a separate fire alarm early Monday led to discovery of the break‑in and nearly all of the 3,250 safe‑deposit boxes opened.
- Losses are provisionally put in the mid double‑digit millions of euros by police; contents are typically insured up to €10,300 per box, and customers are being asked to compile inventories and proof as hotlines and letters roll out.
