TV rogue Lovejoy, it has emerged.

Adams — linked to 25 murders — had a £700,000 collection of mainly stolen
valuables, including his prized £120,000 porcelain figures.  
 
 Other pinched items included £60,000 Bluejohn vases, £8,000 Ormolu
candlesticks and work by Picasso and Brit artist Henry Moore worth £35,000. 

Adams, 52, is serving seven years’ jail for money laundering and a source
close to his trial said: “There’s no doubt he thought of himself as a
collector.”

The items were stolen in thefts dating back to 1991. Insurance firms, which
have long since paid out, will now take possession of the valuables. 

A Serious Organised Crime Agency spokesman said: “This is not to suggest
Adams was involved in their theft, or that he was aware they were stolen.”

The collection was uncovered during a raid on Adams’ mansion in Barnet,
North London.
