I had never heard of this before. I have been to Dresden once for new years 2017 iirc and while I was reading the article it felt like fiction. The city was swarmed with heavily armed police all throughout the city. All the police officers were incredibly polite and helpful and were more than happy to respond to any sort of questions. Mind you, they were all insanely heavily armed. I spent an afternoon at the Zwinger museum and while there was no apparent security anywhere in sight, my friend, being as curious as they come, stepped over the designated limits in the gallery on several instances. And there wasn't even a second before a security guard would pop out of nowhere with a "Miss, could you take a step back, please". A heist like the one described feels like it's about a completely different place.
