Pryor burgled

LOS ANGELES - Police were investigating the possible theft of dollars 450,000 (pounds 300,000) in cash from the home of the comedian Richard Pryor. Los Angeles police said Mr Pryor reported the theft on Friday night and implicated a former employee. He told detectives the money could have been taken any time between June and August last year when he was on vacation in Hawaii. It was not clear if Mr Pryor had delayed reporting the theft or had just discovered the money was missing.
