PhotoA man was arrested in Berlin on Monday in connection with stolen diaries, glasses and other personal effects that belonged to the Beatles singer John Lennon, a spokesman for the city’s public prosecutor said. The police believe a second man, thought to be a former employee of Lennon’s wife, Yoko Ono, was also involved. In a statement, the Berlin police said that a 58-year-old man was arrested in the German capital as part of an investigation into fraud and the trading of stolen property. According to the police, about 100 items, including Lennon’s diaries, spectacles, a cigarette case and a recording of a 1965 Beatles concert, were stolen from Ms. Ono in New York in 2006. The investigation is ongoing, and the police said they did not yet know when the stolen items would be returned to Ms. Ono.
