   German police have recovered more than 100 items stolen from John Lennon's estate, including three diaries. 
   
   The diaries were put on display at Berlin police headquarters with other items including a tape recording of a Beatles concert, two pairs of glasses, sheet music and a cigarette case. 
   
   Police said a 58-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods. 
   
   The items were stolen in New York in 2006 from Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono. 
   
   Detectives said much of the haul was confiscated from an auction house in Berlin in July, sparking an investigation to find the rest of the stolen items. 
   
   Ono identified the objects from photos she was shown at the German consulate in New York, German media reported.

   The suspect was arrested on Monday in Berlin after police searched his home and cars. 
   
   Martin Steltner, a spokesman for the Berlin prosecutor's office, said another suspect, who lives in Turkey, "is unattainable for us at the present time". 
   
   It is understood the second suspect used to work as a chauffeur for Ono. 
   
   Mr Steltner said it was not clear when the recovered items could be returned to Lennon's estate.

   Memorabilia connected to the Beatles can fetch huge prices at auction. 
   
   In February, a leather jacket believed to have been worn by Lennon sold for £10,400 at an auction in England. 
   
   In September, an original score for The Beatles' song Eleanor Rigby was removed from another auction in England amid claims it had been stolen. 
   
   The handwritten score, signed by Paul McCartney, was due to be sold with a guide price of £20,000. ||||| An original tape from a recording and play list of a Beatles concert on Aug. 30, 1965, is displayed at the police headquarters in Berlin, Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2017 after German police have arrested a man...

   BERLIN (AP) — German police recovered around 100 items that belonged to late Beatles star John Lennon that were stolen from his widow in New York, including three diaries, two pairs of his signature metal-rimmed glasses, a cigarette case and a handwritten music score. 
   
   The retrieved possessions were displayed Tuesday at Berlin police headquarters. 
   
   "This was a spectacular, unusual criminal case," police spokesman Winfrid Wenzel told reporters. 
   
   German authorities first became aware of the items, stolen from Yoko Ono at her New York home in 2006, when a bankruptcy administrator for the Berlin auction house Auctionata contacted them in July. The administrator had found the memorabilia in the company's storage. 
   
   Police confiscated the items from the auctioneers two weeks later, and on Monday arrested a suspect and raided his Berlin home and cars. They said another suspect, who is living in Turkey, is currently "not available," but they would try to get him extradited to Germany. 
   
   During their investigation, police officers and prosecutors also flew to New York, where they met Ono to have her verify the stolen goods' authenticity. 
   
   "She was very emotional and we noticed clearly how much these things mean to her and how happy she would be to have them back," prosecutor Susann Wettley said of the moment they showed Ono some of the recovered items and pictures of some others. 
   
   Wettley said that Ono's former driver, who is now living in Turkey, is one of the suspects. He has a previous conviction in New York related to the stolen items, she said. 
   
   The other suspect, who was arrested in Berlin on Monday, was identified as a 58-year-old German businessman of Turkish origin. During the search of his car, police said they found additional belongings of Lennon in a briefcase hidden under the spare tire in the trunk. Neither suspect's name was released because of German privacy rules. 
   
   Police are still checking confiscated computer files and business contracts to better understand how exactly the stolen goods ended up at the auction house in Berlin and if the auctioneers were aware that they bought stolen goods from the two suspects. They said the items have been in possession of Auctionata since 2014, but were never available for sale online. 
   
   The trove of Lennon memorabilia also includes a recording of a Beatles concert from 1965, a school exercise book from 1952, contract documents for the copyright of Lennon's "I'm the Greatest" song and handwritten scores for "Woman" and "Just like starting over." 
   
   There are also three of Lennon's leather-bound diaries, from 1975, 1979 and 1980. The last entry was made by Lennon on the morning of Dec. 8, 1980, a few hours before he was killed, Wettley said. 
   
   It included a note on the famous photo shoot by Annie Leibovitz that same day showing a naked Lennon embracing his wife. 
   
   It wasn't immediately clear when Ono will get all the items back.
target: – Yoko Ono is going to be reunited with a trove of John Lennon memorabilia that apparently took a long and winding road after being stolen from her New York home in 2006. Police in Germany say they have recovered more than 100 items, including diaries, glasses, and sheet music, many of which were confiscated from a Berlin auction house in July, the BBC reports. Police say a 58-year-old man was arrested Monday after a search of his home and cars turned up additional Lennon items. Prosecutors say a second suspect, Ono's former chauffeur, is living in Turkey and they will try to have him extradited. Police say they became aware of the items when a bankruptcy administrator at the Auctionata auction house contacted them in July, the AP reports. They are now trying to determine whether the auction house knew the items were stolen when it acquired them in 2014. The diaries are from 1975, 1979, and 1980. The final entry in the 1980 diary was made on Dec. 8, hours before he was murdered, says prosecutor Susann Wettley. She says that when investigators flew to New York to have Ono verify the items, the widow was "very emotional and we noticed clearly how much these things mean to her and how happy she would be to have them back." (An angry letter from Lennon to Paul McCartney was auctioned off last year.)
