A RARE £1,500 bottle of whisky has been stolen in a burglary at a North Tyneside home.

The 25-year-old Glenlivet limited edition bottle was produced for the Queen's silver jubilee.

It was taken, along with 22 other limited editions of the spirit, in a Boxing Day raid on an address in Whitley Bay.

The bottle was in a wooden box, which was lined with red velvet.

Last night, Northumbria Police asked anyone who was offered the whisky, or anyone with any information on the theft, to contact detectives on (01661) 872555, extension 63145.
