Detectives fear stolen Pounds 1.2m violin has left the UK as three appear in court
2010
Overview
The violin, made in 1696, is one of only about 400 in the world. It was stolen with a Peccatte bow, valued at Pounds 62,000, and another bow made by the School of Bazin valued at more than Pounds 5,000. Detective Inspector Andy Rose, of the BTP, said: \"The chief focus of our investigation remains to get these very precious items returned. Although they are extremely valuable, I want to stress that their sell-on value, in monetary terms, is practically nil because they are unique. John Maughan, 26, of no fixed abode, and two brothers, aged 16 and 14, from Tottenham, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were charged with theft at West London magistrates' court. Maughan was remanded in custody and the teenagers were released on bail.
