Police Retrieve Dozens of Stolen John Lennon Items

Police in Germany have recovered around 100 items that once belonged to John Lennon and were stolen from his widow Yoko Ono in 2006.

The personal items were taken from Ono’s home in New York and included three diaries, two pairs of the Beatle’s metal-rimmed glasses, a cigarette case and a handwritten music score.

The Associated Press report that the items resurfaced in July this year when a bankruptcy administrator for Berlin auctioneers Auctionata contacted authorities after the memorabilia was found in the company’s storage facility.

Police confiscated the items and arrested a suspect on Monday and raided his home in Berlin. During the search of his car, they found more of Lennon’s belongings in a briefcase which had been hidden in the boot.

AP reports that Ono’s former driver, who is living in Turkey, is one of the suspects and that police are currently trying to get them extradited to Germany.

Police officers flew to New York to meet Ono who verified the stolen items.
