Nobel Peace Prize Taken In Newcastle Burglary

A gold Nobel Peace Prize awarded in the 1930s has been stolen from the Lord Mayor's Mansion House in Newcastle.

The thieves who broke into the building's cellar also made off with a lock of hair from Admiral Lord Collingwood and antique silverware.

The items were valued at around £150,000, Northumbria Police said.

The Nobel prize was awarded in 1934 to former foreign secretary Arthur Henderson for his work on international disarmament.

Police appealed for help tracking down the items, which were stolen in Jesmond on Monday night.

Newcastle Temporary Superintendent Bruce Storey said: "The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded 93 times to 124 Nobel Laureates between 1901 and 2012 and so the stolen item is extremely rare, recognisable and historically important."
