Police in Bel Air, Maryland are appealing for help identifying four suspects believed to have stolen a 1947 Martin D-28 acoustic guitar<\/a> worth around $15,000 from a local music store.<\/p>\n

Officers say that three women and a man entered the stop, Music Land, on February 3. Surveillance footage shows them taking the acoustic guitar from the display area, concealing it, and leaving the store.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the female suspects was on lookout,\u201d store owner Larry Noto tells via WMAR-2 News Baltimore<\/em><\/a>. \u201cThe other two suspects took the guitar. She had a long black winter coat on, a very puffy coat. It was freezing out \u2013 you know how it was a couple of weeks ago \u2013 and had sort of a black bag that they slipped the guitar in.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a consignment piece from 1947, so a very rare, special piece that we just happened to have on sale as part of our consignment program.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continues, \u201cYou do feel violated, and it was really sad and disturbing to watch the video that had happened. We\u2019re a local family-owned business, [and have] served the community for 55 years. You just don\u2019t think something like that\u2019s going to happen to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alongside its unique serial number, another key identifying feature is a distinct cracking on the back from a prior refinishing. Police shared a photo of the suspects who are being sought for identification and interrogation. No charges have been filed as of yet.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information should contact the Bel Air Police Department<\/a> at (410) 638-4500 or km*****<\/span>@******<\/span>md.org<\/span>.<\/p>\n
