Although many new brown dwarf (BD) neighbours have recently been discoveredthanks to new sky surveys in the mid- and near-infrared (MIR, NIR), theirnumbers are still more than five times lower than those of stars in the samevolume. Our aim is to detect and classify new BDs to eventually complete theircensus in the immediate Solar neighbourhood. We combined multi-epoch data fromsky surveys at different wavelengths to detect BD neighbours of the Sun bytheir high proper motion (HPM). We concentrated at relatively bright MIR(w2<13.5) BD candidates from WISE expected to be so close to the Sun that theymay also be seen in older NIR (2MASS, DENIS) or even red optical (SDSS i- andz-band, SSS I-band) surveys. With low-resolution NIR spectroscopy we classifiedthe new BDs and estimated their distances and velocities. We have discoveredthe HPM (pm~470mas/yr) T7.5 dwarf, WISE J0521+1025, which is at d=5.0+-1.3pcfrom the Sun the nearest known T dwarf in the northern sky, and two early-Tdwarfs, WISE J0457-0207 (T2) and WISE J2030+0749 (T1.5), with proper motions of~120 and ~670mas/yr and distances of 12.5+-3.1pc and 10.5+-2.6pc, respectively.The last one was independently discovered and also classified as a T1.5 dwarfby Mace and coworkers. All three show thin disk kinematics. They may have beenoverlooked in the past owing to overlapping images and because of problems withmatching objects between different surveys and measuring their proper motions.
