Police Scotland arrests a 71-year-old man in connection with the theft of Glasgow’s historic Lipton Cup from the Riverside Museum, as officers continue enquiries about the trophy’s whereabouts.
The Lipton Cup is described by multiple outlets as an extremely valuable artefact, with reporting citing a value of about £500,000 and referring to it as a gold trophy. One outlet also adds that it was stolen from a display case at the museum.
Outlets also differ in how they present the timeline and the arrest outcome. Some reports identify the suspect as a pensioner and note the arrest, while another says the man is arrested and then released without charge, with police continuing to pursue leads.
