BERLIN (Reuters) - 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.

The lightning raid at the Gruenes Gewoelbe, or Green Vault, one of Europe's greatest collections of treasures, on Monday has left investigators baffled even though security camera footage showed two men breaking in through a barred window.
