A Bowler is about to deliver (he is on his bowling run up), the striker tries to steal a run. The bowler notices that, throws the ball and breaks the wickets (without anyones assistance) at the striker end. Appeal for run out? Is this a valid appeal - what is your action and verdict?

i am slightly confused regarding the laws. Law 24.4 and 42.16. Will it be a no-ball and will it also be run out? Is the bowler permitted to run out at the non-strikers end only?

As per my understanding of the laws: the umpire will signal no-ball and that will be the end of it.

More likely they would signal dead ball as no attempt to bowl it has been made.

i will just copy the laws here:

Law 24.4. Bowler throwing towards striker�s end before delivery
If the bowler throws the ball towards the striker�s end before entering his delivery stride, either umpire shall call and signal No ball. See Law 42.16 (Batsmen stealing a run). However, the procedure stated in 2 above of caution, informing, final warning, action against the bowler and reporting shall not apply.

Law 42.16.   Batsman stealing a run
It is unfair for the batsmen to attempt to steal a run during the bowler�s run up. Unless the bowler attempts to run out either batsman - see 15 above and Law 24.4 (Bowler throwing towards striker�s end before delivery) - the umpire shall
(i)   call and signal Dead ball as soon as the batsmen cross in such an attempt.
(ii)   inform the other umpire of the reason for this action.
(iii)   return the batsmen to their original ends.
(iv)   award 5 penalty runs to the fielding side.
(v)   inform the batsmen, the captain of the fielding side and, as soon as practicable, the captain of the batting side, of the reason for this action.
(vi)   together with the other umpire report the occurrence as soon as possible after the match to the Executive of the batting side and to any Governing Body responsible for the match, who shall take such action as is considered appropriate against the captain and players concerned.

As per SGCricket's comment, a No-Ball would be called.
