Violin worth £150,000 stolen from London pub
A violin worth more than £150,000 was stolen from a London pub - with police appealing for help to find the 285-year-old instrument.
The violin belongs to a member of the London Philharmonia Orchestra who was in The Marquess Tavern in Islington on 18 February when it was taken.
It was made in Florence in 1740 - and described by its owner as "incredibly precious" and "priceless", the Metropolitan Police said.
The owner, 30, reported the theft to police on the evening it was stolen - but it has still not been found.
CCTV images from the pub show a man wearing a hat leaving with the instrument in its case.
PC Michael Collins, from the Met's local policing team, said: "We've been working hard to try and locate the suspect and are releasing this CCTV in an effort to help identify them as soon as possible."
"Please help us find the person responsible and have the violin returned it to its rightful owner."
Anyone with any information can call 101 quoting reference number 01/7178074/25, tweet the police at @MetCC, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online.

Urgent warning issued for anyone buying last-minute Glastonbury Festival and Oasis tour tickets
Music fans are being urged to exercise extreme caution when purchasing last-minute tickets online, as new figures reveal a staggering £1.6 million was lost to concert ticket fraud last year. The warning comes as eagerly anticipated events, including Glastonbury and potential Oasis reunion tours, drive a surge in demand, leaving fans vulnerable to scams. Data released by Action Fraud, via the Home Office, shows that the £1.6 million lost in 2024 more than doubled the total recorded the previous year. Approximately 3,700 gig ticket fraud reports were made to Action Fraud over the past year, with nearly half of these incidents stemming from offers made on social media platforms. The figures indicate that individuals in their 20s were disproportionately affected, accounting for more than a quarter (27 per cent) of all victims of ticket fraud last year. The government has issued this warning as part of its broader crackdown on scammers and online fraud. Ahead of a busy summer of gigs and festivals, officials are advising the public to follow the guidance of the "Stop! Think Fraud" campaign to protect themselves from falling victim to these scams. Fraud Minister Lord Hanson said: 'While millions of Britons are getting ready to attend concerts this summer, the scammers are getting ready to exploit the desperate search for tickets, posting fake messages on social media sites offering to resell tickets they can't use or making last-minute offers from fake ticket companies. 'That is why our campaign is called Stop! Think Fraud, so no matter how real a deal looks, we all need to take a moment to think: am I being ripped off? So, let's all stay cautious, stay alert and stay protected from fraud. Don't let the scammers ruin your summer.' Tor Garnett, commander for cyber and economic crime at City of London Police, said: 'People go to gigs for that 'once-in-a-lifetime' experience – especially at sold-out concerts and festivals, where the atmosphere is unmatched. 'But the excitement can vanish in an instant when fans discover their tickets are fake or they've been scammed through social media or resale sites. The loss isn't just financial – it's deeply emotional, turning anticipation into heartbreak. 'Key signs of ticket fraud include unsolicited messages with ticket offers and deals, or requests for payment via bank transfer.' Mike Andrews, national co-ordinator for the National Trading Standards e-crime team, said: 'Every summer, music fans desperate to see their favourite artists at festivals or stadium tours are left distraught and considerably out of pocket at the turnstiles as they discover the tickets they bought in good faith are in fact part of a fraudulent scam. 'Recent National Trading Standards prosecutions have led to serious jail time for ticket touts, which should send a message to all those who choose to engage in fraud that there are severe consequences.' Founder of face-value ticket resale platform Twickets Richard Davies said: 'We've seen first-hand how fraudsters attempt to exploit high-demand tours. 'In recent weeks alone, we've had to warn fans about multiple fake Twickets accounts and websites set up to trick Oasis fans into handing over money for non-existent tickets.' Andrew Parsons, managing director of Ticketmaster UK, said: 'The safest way to buy tickets is always through official channels – if you're unsure who that is, check the artist's official website as they'll always list legitimate sellers. A lot of fake tickets we see on the gates over summer are bought on social media. 'We hate having to turn fans away, so always avoid buying tickets from unofficial platforms or individuals, even if they seem genuine.' Here are some tips from the campaign for buying tickets safely: 1. If you are offered tickets for something in high demand, do not let fomo (fear of missing out) rush your decision. Take a moment to stop, think, and check if the offer is genuine. 2. Only buy tickets from the venue's box office or an official ticketing website. 3. Do not move away from an official payment platform to make a direct payment via bank transfer or virtual currency. Use the website's recommended payment methods to stay protected.

ROBERT HARDMAN: I was in the midst of a mob of deluded conspiracy theorists united by a loathing of Israel, Trump and UK foreign policy
At one end of Whitehall, the Government was solemnly announcing plans to add the direct action group Palestine Action to the UK's current list of 81 proscribed (banned) terrorist organisations. At the other end, its supporters were doing their best to muster a show of strength –while they still can. For once they are added to the list, alongside certified enemies of Western civilisation such as Boko Haram, Al Qaeda and Harakat al-Muqawamah al-Islamiyyah (that's Hamas to you and me), then this lot will qualify for mass arrests if they try a repeat of Monday's protest. For you don't have to be an operative or even a card-carrying member of one of these banned groups to be arrested. As it is, they tend not to be quite as hot on cards and membership subs as your average golf club. Merely being heard to 'express an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organisation' constitutes a criminal offence under the Terrorism Act 2000, a product of the early Blair years. I am not a lawyer but can confidently predict that Monday's principal chant – 'We are Palestine Action' – would fall foul of the law once that organisation joins the club. The Palestine Action leadership had originally planned a demonstration outside Parliament by way of reaction to the Home Secretary's response to last week's assault on Royal Air Force aircraft. Having broken into RAF Brize Norton, having made a mockery of the Ministry of Defence's pathetic security provision and having caused damage estimated in the tens of millions, this mob are now deemed to have crossed the line between direct action and sabotage. Had they tried this sort of wanton vandalism back in the days when the RAF Regiment patrolled air bases with live ammunition, we might have been covering a funeral on Monday. As it was, it seemed inconceivable they would be allowed within shouting distance of Parliament. Sure enough, the police had restricted Palestine Action to Trafalgar Square. There were at least 500 of them, and they managed to bring much of central London to a halt by blocking all southbound traffic. A little after midday, I saw a No 29 bus stuck next to the church of St Martin-in-the-Fields. The driver was still there nearly three hours later. At one point the bus became a refuge for a brave counter-demonstrator who arrived with an Israeli flag. The police were being called every name under the sun but remained calm and in regular 'soft' uniforms and hi-vis bibs. Periodically, a snatch squad would wade in and haul out a protester amid much synthetic outrage from the rest. 'Let him go!' chanted the herd, while a little flock of self-appointed busybodies in 'Legal Observer' tabards fussed around, desperate to record evidence of police heavy-handedness (I saw none). Those stuck in the traffic for several hours on another sunny day will have thought: 'If only.' If the police were at fault Monday, it was in letting the capital remain gummed up for hours. I have to say that I did not feel I was in the midst of terrorists. Deluded, obsessive, ranty, repetitive conspiracy theorists united in a pathological loathing of Israel, Donald Trump and British foreign policy, perhaps. But the prevailing vibe was more Lib Dem conference than jihadi. We had plenty of students, of course, but if one demographic could have been said to predominate, it was the recently retired white middle class. For every protester in a hijab, I could count three grey-haired (or bald) baby-boomers dressed for rambling, save for the Palestinian keffiyeh over the shoulders. Perhaps I am guilty of crude generalisation but then I can only say the feeling was entirely mutual after I was twice accused of 'supporting genocide' on the grounds that I was wearing a linen jacket. I met an articulate retired scientist who said he could see nothing wrong in crippling RAF aircraft which, thus, can no longer defend the realm. 'They have been complicit in war crimes,' he told me matter-of-factly. At the start of the demo, a group of young mothers laid a rainbow-coloured blanket on the road and encouraged their children to do some drawing. Drums and megaphones kept up a modest din but we had no stage and no 'keynote speakers'. There was also a notable Irish flavour to it all – plenty of Irish tricolours and slogans plus a sound system pumping out rebel songs like Come Out Ye Black And Tans. After two and a half hours, several vanloads of rather different police eventually turned up with helmets and body armour and methodically cleared the road, scooping up a few more road-blockers for arrest. After a few squawks of 'fascist!', the crowd started melting away. There in the mix, I spotted Piers Corbyn, swivel-eyed bonkers elder brother of Jeremy. No lost cause is truly lost until Corbyn Senior is on board. He was wearing a 'Resist! Defy! Do Not Comply!' T-shirt on Monday. By teatime, compliance was complete.
