A man suspected of an audacious theft from a safe deposit box in Geneva last March has been arrested in Zurich.
The owner says jewellery, gold watches and other precious metals were taken - worth several million francs.
Reports say the thief pretended to be a customer to access the secure area and broke the lock to the personal safe and then glued it back with putty.
The 40 year old suspect has been transferred to Germany to face other charges there.
