A 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.
